Book Summary:The Red Pyramid introduces Carter and Sadie Kane, siblings who have grown up apart—Carter traveling the world with their Egyptologist dad, and Sadie living a normal life in London with their grandparents. Their worlds collide when their father, Julius Kane, attempts a magical ritual at the British Museum and accidentally unleashes the Egyptian god Set, who imprisons him. The siblings soon discover they are descendants of powerful Egyptian magicians from the House of Life. With the gods returning to the modern world, Carter and Sadie must learn to control their magical abilities, fight mythical creatures, and stop Set from destroying North America with a giant red pyramid. The story is fast-paced, adventurous, and packed with Egyptian mythology, humor, and sibling banter.
