The Sequel to Rick Riordan's Kane Chronicles is out! here is the description quoted from amazon:

"In this exciting second installment of the three-book series, Carter and Sadie, offspring of the brilliant Egyptologist Dr. Julius Kane, embark on a worldwide search for the Book of Ra, but the House of Life and the gods of chaos are determined to stop them."

and a review, a five-star one, quoted from amazon:

"As you might remember from the first book, The Red Pyramid, the gods of Ancient Egypt were unleashed in our world, and the key characters of the Kane Chronicles - Carter Kane and his sister Sadie - have been in trouble (and also looking for their father). Sadie and Carter tell this story again as an audio recording warning you that the world is going to end and you need to know about it.
"Look, we don't have time for long introductions. I need to tell this story quickly, or we're all going to die..."

As the last descendants of the House of Life, Kane-kids have unusual powers. But they have not had much time to practice their skills. They try to find the answers in the ancient scripts and help, too.

Their family home, Brooklyn House, has now become a training ground for the youngsters with magical skills.
Jaz and Walt are new characters in this second book. They have magical skills. They responded to Kane-siblings' call when they were looking for kids like them to help them in their quest.


The second book starts with a fire and a theft in the museum. Carter and Sadie - with the help of their trainees Jaz and Walt, and Khufu (baboon) - try to get an ancient artifact from the museum... but their visit to the museum does not go exactly as planned...

In order to beat Apophis, Kane siblings need to find and revive Ra....wherever Ra is now... But they don't know how to chant to revive Ra, they are not trained...
They need to get their hands on the book of Ra but that's not so easy task.

The chaos snake Apophis is building his throne, his pyramid and getting ready to conquer the world. Apophis is bad news. He is their family's worst enemy! And they are just kids with no proper training to ancient secrets!!!
If Kane kids don't prevent Apophis from rising, then the world will end, and they will be dead, too.

I would give 4 stars to the plot and 4 stars to characters. I still liked Percy Jackson stories better than the Kane Chronicles."
