"The Red Pyramid" is here!

If you loved Rick Riordan’s “The Lightening Thief”, you’ll be happy to know that the first volume in his new “Kane Chronicles” series, “The Red Pyramid” is here!

Egyptologist Dr. Julius Kane accidentally unleashes the Egyptian god Set, who banishes the doctor to oblivion and forces his two children to embark on a dangerous journey to save him.
It’s getting great reviews and is supposed to have a terrific ending.
