The Kane Chronicles series

All you need to know about

THE KANE CHRONICLES  

Author : Rick Riordan  

Twelve-year Carter and Sadie Kane don't seem like siblings. In fact, they're barely even friends, which might be due to the fact that they only see each other twice a year. Sadie lives in Britain with her grandparents, while Carter explores the world with his Egyptologist father, Dr Julius Kane. 
But during one of their bi-yearly meetings, everything gets slightly complicated when their father blows up the British Museum and liberates four mildly annoyed gods and one murderously evil god from their confines.
Confused? Well, to be honest, they have not quite understood it as well.
But in a nutshell, Egyptian gods are alive and kicking, and they are really not the kind of people you would want to invite to your party. 
And when their father releases the evil god Set from the clutches of his prison, Set banishes him to oblivion and forces the siblings to run for their lives. 
After a visit from their estranged uncle and an order which has existed from the ages of the pharaohs, Carter and Sadie realise that Set is now on a wild rampage, and is deadset on destroying the world. (Same old, same old)
And then ensues a desperate quest across the globe, as the siblings strive to prevent Set's rise to victory before it's too late. Oh, and did I mention that they have two Egyptian deities stuck in their head?

My Comments 

The Kane Chronicles series is one of the most underrated series written by Rick Riordan, and all one of the best. Carter and Sadie's dynamic from being completely apathetic towards each other to beginning to take care of each other like siblings do was really heartwarming to read. Other side characters in the books are also very likeable and add more depth and diversity to the story. It kept me hooked from the very beginning, and I loved every single page. Rick's incredible writing style, and these amazing characters, and of course, the engrossing plotline together made it an unforgettable experience for me. 
Ideal for ages 10 to 18 (or above, which depends on your choice of genres), the Kane Chronicles series is sure to be a riveting journey for you, as it had been for me.

INTRODUCTION

Hello! First off, thank you so much for visiting my blog! I hope my entries help all the bookworms out there get their perfect dream book and start a whole new adventure in its pages. As a reader myself, I found it REALLY hard to find the ideal book and immerse myself in it for the next few months. But as soon as it was over, i had always struggled to find another perfect book. It is always a melancholic moment when a book ends, and we are left with the thoughts of the particular story for days before we find another book. Such books are rare to come by and will always be special to us. There are also some lesser known series, which are not as popular and well known as the Harry Potter and Percy Jackson series, but are just as amazing. But never fear! In this blog, i will write about the books i am particularly fond of, and all those stories i enjoyed a lot and hope you will too. So when you finish a good book series, and is left to stare at the wall, rethinking the plot and how great

The Pandava Quintet series

  All you need to know about THE PANDAVA QUINTET (THE ARU SHAH SERIES) Author : Roshani Chokshi Aru Shah is a sassy and quirky twelve year old living in Atlanta, Georgia who also happens to be as salty as the Dead Sea. She is also shockingly good at lying, which was what lead to her unleashing a trapped supervillain and almost causing the end of time.  Yup, that went from 'normal' to ' definitely not normal' a little too fast. Let me back up a little. Aru's mom, Krithika Shah, owns a museum. The Museum of Ancient Indian Art and Culture. As a student of Augustus Day (AKA 'School for the Snobbiest'), to fit in, Aru often stretches the truth to impress her fellow classmates. But living in a museum is un-cool by Middle school standards, and definitely doesn't help Aru to become one with the aristocratic crowd. And it certainly doesn't help that her mother was always away on Museum work and was almost never home. Which was another contributing factor to
