Oh, and did we mention that no one knows where Ra is exactly? Narrated in two different wisecracking voices, featuring a large cast of new and unforgettable characters, and with adventures spanning the globe, this second installment in the Kane Chronicles is nothing short of a thrill ride. First they have to search the world for the three sections of the Book of Ra, then they have to learn how to chant its spells.

But that would be a feat more powerful than any magician has ever accomplished. To have any chance of battling the Forces of Chaos, the Kanes must revive the sun god Ra. In other words, it’s a typical week for the Kane family. If they don’t prevent him from breaking free in a few days’ time, the world will come to an end. And now their most threatening enemy yet-the chaos snake Apophis-is rising. As descendants of the House of Life, the Kanes have some powers at their command, but the devious gods haven’t given them much time to master their skills at Brooklyn House, which has become a training ground for young magicians. 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.Įver since the gods of Ancient Egypt were unleashed in the modern world, Carter Kane and his sister Sadie have been in trouble. 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. 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.
