Review by School Library Journal Review

The first volume (Hyperion, 2010) of Rick Riordan's "Kane Chronicles" series, a nonstop adventure, brings Egyptian mythology to life. Bickering siblings Carter and Sadie are swept away from their Egyptologist father and kidnapped as they try to outsmart evil gods and save humanity from destruction. The story is told alternately by each sibling, offering two very distinct perspectives. Rooted in ancient mythology, the tale features Riordan's trademark humor and witty contemporary dialogue. Narrators Kevin R. Free and Katherine Kellgren perfectly capture the siblings' different natures and the gods' distinct personalities. (c) Copyright 2011.
