The Red Pyramid

This is the first book in the Kane Chronicles by Rick Riordan, the same author who wrote my favorite Percy Jackson series. This one is along the same lines only it's Egyptian Mythology instead of Greek. But the children find themselves with supernatural parents and powers. I liked this book and it kept up a pretty good pace, but I have to admit that I didn't like it as much as I loved Percy. I love Egyptian history and I love learning about it, however, I don't know as much as I do about Greek Mythology. Besides, the Egyptians are sort of creepy in some of their beliefs!
Anyway, it's a great read packed with adventure and history and I look forward to the next in this series.
