Ever since the gods of Ancient Egypt were unleashed in the modern world, Carter Kane and his sister, Sadie, have been in trouble. As descendants of the House of Life, the Kanes have some powers at their command, but the devious gods haven't given them time to master their skills at Brooklyn House, a training ground for young magicians. And now their most threatening enemy yet—the Chaos snake, Apophis—is rising. If they don't prevent him from breaking free in a few days' time, the world will end. In other words, it's a typical week for the Kane family.

To have any chance of battling the forces of Chaos, the Kanes must revive the sun god, Ra. But that would be a feat more difficult than any magician has ever accomplished. First, they have to search the world for the Book of Ra, then they have to learn how to chant its spells. Oh—and did I mention that no one knows where Ra "is," exactly?

A good sequel. Sadie didn't get on my nerves this time.

This was a great book, it was very hard on me though because of interruptions such as work, eating and sleeping, but I was finally able to get back to reading. I love this series.

Doesn't have the same excitement as the first book. Some fun new characters introduced and a page-turning tension in the last third of the book because it's not clear how it'll end.

Age range: 9-15
Not recommended for older readers, won't hold attention.
