The Red Pyramid

Rick Riordan does it again! I really need to read some of his adult fiction because what he does for teens is nothing short of magic. I especially loved how he would dedicate alternating chapters to one or the other main character's point of view. Very refreshing.

All the ingredients from Rick Riordan's earlier Lightning Thief series are here in the Red Pyramid: gods (with a very small “g”), monsters, mythology, fights, danger, potential destruction of the universe. I cannot imagine a ten-year-old who would not love this book. Pretty safe to say that if you liked Lightning Thief, you'll like this one. Well, unless you don't like books that are toooo derivative....
