Throne of Fire / Rick Riordan / 452 pages

This is the 2nd book in the Kane Chronicles which are based in Egyptian mythology. I listened to it on CD and found it enjoyable though Sadie seems to be shouting in a British accent during most of her portion of the story. It features two intrepid siblings, Carter & Sadie Kane, who have all of the normal sibling issues and must save the world from chaos in 5 days. The book has adventure, heroism, courage, humor and a good dose of mythology. Upper elementary and middle school kids will love Throne of Fire and be anxiously awaiting the next in the series.
