The House of Life has chosen Carter and Sadie to control the Egyptian gods who are on the brink of being released. Now tackling the somewhat darker and brooding Egyptian gods, Riordan uses the brother/sister team of Carter and Sadie Kane, children of two noted Egyptologists and archeologists who just so happen to be descended from Egypt's greatest magicians.

In fact, The Lightning Thief was picked up by Hollywood and turned into a movie. His first attempt at ya fiction was the Percy Jackson series, which rocketed to the bestseller lists - both young adult fiction and adult fiction lists. Rick Riordan has batted another one out of the park and scored a home run. If you haven't picked up the first book, now is the time to pick up both titles. Exciting, action-packed, and thrilling, book two of the Kane Chronicles really delivers (book one is The Red Pyramid).
