KANE CHRONICLES by By Rick Riordan

The Kane Chronicles is based on Egyptian mythology and introduces us to various characters.

The entire series of The Kane Chronicles (3 books) revolves around the Kane family who have the blood of pharaohs, the magicians, the sun god ‘Ra’, and the serpant ‘Apophis’.  The Kane family lives in the house of Blood and have several adventures to stop Apophis from eating Ra to fulfill its desire of destroying the world.

I have read all the three books.

THE RED PYRAMID
Two teenagers, Carter and Saddie just find out that they belong to an ancient Egyptian Pharaoh. They go to stop the God of evil, 'Set'. An adventurous journey indeed.
  

THRONE OF FIRE

In this book, the brother sister duo, Carter and Saddie Kane go into ‘Duat’ the place where all immortals live. They have to pass all the twelve stages of one part of the Duat in order to get the sun to rise properly. In the fifth stage they find Ra along with all the old and forgotten gods who need care . They take Ra to the House of Life and they fight with Apophis and his army.

SERPANT SHADOW

Carter and Saddie Kane go on a dangerous adventure involving trapping of Apophis’s shadow in its wax figurine after which they would need to chant a spell properly together in unison with perfect pronunciation. They need to do this to save the world.

The books are very interesting. It is actually a text of the voice recording which Saddie and Carter make at the end of the adventures. The book is hilarious particularly when there are commentaries about the characters especially Walt, Zia, and Anubis.

I now know the names of Egyptian gods and goddesses.
