![]() ![]() Throw in a cat with far more than 9 lives, a basketball obsessed baboon, and a Dream Date with Death, and you've got one heck of a story. Sadie lived with her grandparents in London while her brother. Carter and Sadie are bright, funny teens their constant bickering barely concealing their deep affection for each other.(Nice touch: this is one of the few really great kids' books to feature a bi-racial family).Īlthough the secondary characters start to run together, (remind me, which goddess was the flaming blood drinker?) these two realistic, likable kids hold the center. The Red Pyramid Since their mothers death, Carter and Sadie have become near strangers. ![]() Sadie, raised in England by their (mysteriously) dead mother's parents, and Carter, raised by their globetrotting Dad, have little in common, but when a late night trip to the British museum unleashes gods, demons and possibly the end of the world, they quickly learn to work together. Carter and Sadie Kane, offspring of 2 brilliant Egyptologists, have just discovered that their family tree is a bit more, umm, complicated than they realized. ![]() But The Red Pyramid grabbed me from the opening sentence: "We only have a few hours, so listen carefully.". I was not a fan of the Percy Jackson series, okay but nothing special. ![]()
