Synopsis

Calling all young magicians of Egypt! If the blood of the pharaohs runs in your veins, you can't afford to be without this guide to Ancient Egyptian deities and creatures, and Carter and Sadie Kane's world of magic.

Greetings, initiate! Carter Kane, here. Congratulations on reaching Brooklyn House in one piece. This accomplishment signals that you're descended from Ancient Egyptian royalty, and you have magic powers. But what good is power without knowing how to use it? That's where this training manual comes in. Packed with quizzes, stories, and insights about Ancient Egyptian deities, creatures (the friendly and the deadly), the mysterious Duat, and more, this primer will prime those with the blood of the pharaohs to take their first steps down the path of the gods. You'll hear from me, other magicians (including my sister, Sadie), and even a few of the gods themselves. But beware of tricks and surprises: anything can happen in the world of Egyptian magic.

About Rick Riordan

Richard Russell "Rick" Riordan, is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and former teacher of English and History. His career started with teaching in various schools in Texas, after earning h I s double major from the University of Texas at Austin. His favorite subject that he taught in almost every class was Mythology, since he enjoyed it and most students really enjoyed it. That interest gave way to his very popular series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and The Kane Chronicles, a trilogy focusing on Egyptian mythology. In 2014 came The Heroes of Olympus, which was the sequel to the Percy Jackson series about Roman and Greek mythology.

Twentieth Century Fox purchased the rights to the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series and released a full feature film in February of 2010. Riordan has written many successful book series for children and adults. His newest series, Magnus Chase and the God's of Asgard begins in October of 2015, with the release of the first book, The Sword of Summer, focusing on Norse mythology.

Riordan lives in Boston with his wife and their two sons, who inspired the Percy Jackson series through its beginnings as a bedtime story.

Antes que nada, quiero decirles que este libro tiene spoilers si no han terminado de leer la trilogía principal de los Kane. Dejando eso de lado, ¡amoooo este tipo de contenido extra que saca Rick Riordan para complementar sus sagas! En este caso, obviamente, tendremos una visión un poco más cercana......more

Actual rating three and a half stars I wasn’t exactly sure what I would be getting when I started reading this book but I found that it helped me remember certain things that happened in the main books. It had some of that classic Riordan wit plus new information on some of the main characters! The c......more

Goodreads review by Devann on May 26, 2018

As with the other companion guides, this was pretty fun but lacks any of the real substance that would allow me to give it a higher rating. I liked the stories but honestly the quiz format sections are annoying to me both because I'm reading an ebook so I can't actually like 'take' the quiz and also......more

Goodreads review by Mariah on December 24, 2018

This was one of the more unsubstantial of the companion books. The entries written by characters were cool enough, but the quizzes were a little contrite.......more
