In Reading, we have this thing called a book talk. We present our favorite books in front of class and report about it. My favorite is a new book called The Red Pyramid

Blurb (summary): Since his mother’s death six years ago, Carter Kane has been living out of a suitcase, traveling the globe with                                        his father, the brilliant Egyptologist Dr. Julius Kane. But while Carter’s been homeschooled, his younger sister,                                    Sadie, has been living with their grandparents in London. Sadie has just what Carter wants-school friends and                                    a normal life. But Carter has just what Sadie longs for-time with their father. After six years of living apart, the                                      siblings have almost nothing in common. Until now.

On Christmas Eve, Sadie and Carter are reunited when their father brings them to the British Museum, with a                                        promise that he’s going to “make things right”. But all does not go according to plan: Carter and Sadie watch as                                    Julius summons a mysterious figure, who quickly banishes their father and causes a fiery explosion.

Soon Carter and Sadie discover that the gods of Ancient Egypt are waking, and the worst of them-Set-has a                                            frightening scheme. To save their father, they must embark on a dangerous journey-a quest that brings them                                          ever closer to the truth about their family and its links to the House of Life, a secret order that has existed since                                      the time of the pharaohs.

From the author of the blockbuster best-selling Percy Jackson and the Olympians comes this first installment of                                   the Kane Chronicles, combining nonstop action, humor, and suspense in an epic tale of loyalty and heroism.

Author: Rick Riordan, author of the following: Percy Jackson and the Olympians series and its companion books, The 39 Clues                     Series Books 1 and The Black Book of Buried Secrets, the Tres Navarre Series and the Kane Chronicles.
