New from Rick Riordan

Fresh off his extraordinarily popular Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, Rick Riordan has begun another series, this one dealing with Egyptian mythology. The first book is The Red Pyramid: "Siblings Carter and Sadie have been living apart since their mother's mysterious death. On Christmas Eve, archeologist Julius Kane and son Carter, 14, show up in England for one of their two days a year with Sadie. Julius ushers his children to the British Museum, where he blows up the Rosetta Stone, unleashing five Egyptian gods and causing his own disappearance. The kids' Uncle Amos whisks them to a Brooklyn mansion, where he reveals that the Kanes descend from powerful Egyptian magicians.Riordan delivers another funny yarn with kids in the lead and animal sidekicks that nearly steal the show."
