What this book is about

Carter and Sadie Kane watch their Egyptologist father unleash five Egyptian gods at the British Museum. Now Set is free, their father is imprisoned, and the siblings must master Egyptian magic to save the world. The Red Pyramid launches the Kane Chronicles with the same mythological wit as Percy Jackson but filtered through Egyptian mythology.
