Egypt – Nora's Summer Reading

Hello again! This is a great mystery book that I just reread. I think that many people will enjoy it. However, there are some kinda scary parts, so if you don’t want anything scary, you probably shouldn’t read this book.

When April Hall moves to the Casa Rosada from Hollywood, she is sure that her mother, Dorthea, will come take her back soon. Staying with her grandmother, Caroline, is completely temporary…right? Meanwhile, April meets Melanie Ross, another girl who lives in the Casa Rosada. At first, they don’t think they have anything in common. However, they soon discover that they share a fascination with ancient Egypt. When they find a deserted storage yard behind an antique store run by the Professor, they decide it’s just the spot for the Egypt Game. Soon, four more Egyptians join the fun. Then, strange things begin happening. Is the Egypt Game the cause?

I hope you love this book. I really enjoy it every time I read it. I’ve never read any other books by Zilpha Keatly Snyder, but based on the excerpt in the back of the book, I’ll enjoy them. Have you read any other books by the author of The Egypt Game? If so, how were they? Tell me in the comments below.

Hi! Just wanted to let you know: I’ll be camping this weekend, so I’m thinking about posting from there. Make sure to look for it! Anyway, onto the present post. The topic is the Kane Chronicles, a series about Egyptian mythology in the modern world.

The main characters are Carter and Sadie Kane, a brother and sister who barely know each other. After their mother died, Sadie went to live with their grandparents, the Fausts, in London, while Carter traveled the world with his dad, the great Egyptologist Julius Kane. When the siblings find out that all the mythical monsters are real and out for blood, they must learn to work together in the face of danger. This series is based on the stories of ancient Egyptian magicians. (And no, they don’t pull cute, fuzzy rabbits out of hats.) Follow the adventures of the Kane siblings in this trilogy as they save the world, and, while attempting to save it, almost destroy it.

This is a series written by Rick Riordan. He has published many books about mythology in the modern world. There are series about Greek mythology and Norse mythology. I recommend this series to readers who don’t mind a bit of peril. (I’m not big on scary books, and I like this trilogy, so don’t worry.) If you like this series, read the others by Rick Riordan. They are all pretty similar. If you like a bit of variation, maybe read another book in between. Hope you enjoy it! If you have an opinion, or any questions, comment. I’d love to hear about your experiences.
