The Kane Chronicles: The Red Pyramid Award-winning author by Rick Riordan (author) (UK edition)

“I guess it started the night our dad blew up the British Museum…”

Carter and Sadie barely know each other, let alone their father, the brilliant Egyptologist Dr Julius Kane. But one night, their father brings them together at the British Museum to carry out an experiment which goes horribly wrong. An explosion smashes the Rosetta stone, unleashing a cruel and ancient evil: the Egyptian deity Set, the god of chaos and the night. With their father imprisoned in a golden coffin, Carter and Sadie must embark on a dangerous quest, racing from Cairo and Paris to the American Southwest in a desperate attempt to save their father – and their world. En route, they discover their family’s connection to the House of Life: an Egyptian temple of magic that has existed for thousands of years. It seems that the pharaohs of ancient Egypt are far from dead and buried. And, unfortunately, so are their gods…

Rip-roaring adventure steeped in Ancient Egyptian mythology from Rick Riordan, the author of the Percy Jackson books.
