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 fast paced adventure featuring lots of emotions and a complex web of characters. Which isn't surprising for this author
¡He disfrutado muchísimo de esta historia! Una novela muy divertida y emocionante, he querido mucho a los personajes y también he sufrido por ellos. Hay un par de cosas que no me han gustado, pero se merece mis estrellas de todas formas porque me lo he pasado genial leyendo y he marcado más de 50 frases según leía (cuando normalmente marco... cero).
I do like this series and I've been having a blast listening to them with my 8 year old son. I liked the first book better but he liked this one better. So there you go.
