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. Julius Kane. But while Carter’s been homeschooled, his younger sister, Sadie, has been living with their grandparents in London. Sadie has just what Carter wants — school friends and a chance at a “normal” life. But Carter has just what Sadie longs for—time with their father. After six years of living apart, the siblings have almost nothing in common. Until now.
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.
Soon Carter and Sadie discover that the gods of Ancient Egypt are waking, and the worst of them—Set—has a frightening scheme. To save their father, they must embark on a dangerous journey—a quest that brings them ever closer to the truth about their family and its links to the House of Life, a secret order that has existed since the time of the pharaohs.

its a great book about the ancient egyptian times and stuff althoughI have read better books in my life
I really like egyptian mythology and if you like that kind of stuff this is the book for you I really like the whole series to so happy reading.
Great book! the first book of the Kane Chronicles. Young antagonists find out about their special magical powers. They learn a lot about egyptian mythology and suddenly, their dad is kidnapped by Set, the god of chaos, and Sadie and Carter Kane have to find monsters they have never heard of before and ally with gods and goddesses they never thought existed until then. Amazing storyline, and great book to read!

Love this book. It is AWESOME!
Love it just finished book 2 XD
You know... at the beginning It started off pretty decent, you get to know the characters. The middle is when the real stuff happen, like the fantasy happens. Since I'm still reading it, I'm really anxious to know what happens. I give it a 4 out of 5.
I'm almost done with the book(3 chapters away) but if you enjoy Egypt history and their gods and learning spells then this will be a great book for you
