Book Recommendation: The Red Pyramid

Carter and Sadie on one
of their many adventures
               In my personal opinion, The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan puts all other Mythology books to shame. However, I enjoyed The Lightning Thief more as I thought The Lightning Thief was more brief but also portrayed a great story. This story, however, comes a close second as it has a clear statement of theme we can all apply to our own lives and there is a mountain plot that seemingly never ends and there are several ups and downs that keep the reader glued to the story.
               In the book, we meet Carter who travels across the world with his dad. His sister, Sadie, lives in England and they only get to see one another for one day in an entire year. When Carter and his dad visit England to see Sadie, Dad has to leave after something crucial happens. Carter and Sadie stay in England with their grandparents when there Uncle Amos shows up to take the two with him to New York. In New York, Carter and Sadie learn that they have secret powers from Egyptian gods through the necklaces their dad gave them.. Anxious to find their dad, Carter and Sadie sneak off without Amos' consent to try and rescue their dad. Will they succeed? Read this book to find out whether or not they succeed and learn about the many adventures they have to face.
