Soon Carter and Sadie discover that the gods of Ancient Egypt are waking, and the worst of them-Set-has a frightening scheme. On Christmas Eve, Sadie and Carter are reunited when their father brings them to the British Museum, with a promise that he’s going to “make things right.” But all does not go according to plan: Carter and Sadie watch as Julius summons a mysterious figure, who quickly banishes their father and causes a fiery explosion.
After six years of living apart, the siblings have almost nothing in common. But Carter has just what Sadie longs for-time with their father. Sadie has just what Carter wants-school friends and a chance at a “normal” life. But while Carter’s been homeschooled, his younger sister, Sadie, has been living with their grandparents in London. We all really enjoyed it.Since his mother’s death six years ago, Carter Kane has been living out of a suitcase, traveling the globe with his father, the brilliant Egyptologist Dr. Oh - did I say it's very funny in places - Sadie's sarcasm in particular. Listeners learn a lot about Egyptian mythology and Gods, but again you need 2 listenings to get the real knowledge and understanding. It's actually better the second time because there is so much information you miss lots the first time through. My family (3 kids aged 11,9 and 7 - boys and girls) listened to this twice through.
The relationship between brother and sister is very well portrayed, from initial irritation to a growing love and respect. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The narrators are excellent - Jane bringing to life Sadie's character and wit and the same for Joseph May. What does Jane Collingwood and Joseph May bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book? There were so many - I can't recall the most memorable. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Red Pyramid: The Kane Chronicles, Book 1? Would you consider the audio edition of The Red Pyramid: The Kane Chronicles, Book 1 to be better than the print version? An excellent book which appeals to both sexes
