May 2012 Book of the Month.
This is the third and final book in this awesome and electrifying Kane Chronicles series that is set in ancient Egypt. Carter and Sadie have their biggest and most important quest yet; to defeat the giant snake of Chaos who is set to plunge the world into darkness forever. Failure is not an option but can they find and use an ancient spell in time? Combining brilliant action sequences this series will hook most readers aged 9 and upwards.
Synopsis
The Kane Chronicles: The Serpent's Shadow by Rick RiordanCarter And Sadie Kane, descendants of the magical House of Life, are in pretty big trouble. Despite their bravest efforts, Apophis, the giant snake of Chaos, is still threatening to plunge the world into eternal darkness. Now the Kanes must do something no magician has ever managed - defeat Apophis himself. No pressure there then. Battling against the forces of Chaos, their only hope is an ancient spell - but the magic has been lost for a millennia. Will they find the serpent's shadow, or will they be led to their deaths in the depths of the Underworld?
