The Red Pyramid - Rick Riordan

Since I now have almost unlimited access to books at my school's library, I grabbed one that I've been wanting to read but wasn't sure I wanted to purchase: The Red Pyramid, by Rick Riordan (author of the Percy Jackson series, which I really liked).

This is part of a newer series by Riordan called The Kane Chronicles - this is the 1st book and there is one more out, with a 3rd one coming next spring. I've only read the 1st few chapters, but so far it seems very similar to Percy Jackson, but with ancient Egypt instead of Greece. It should be a fun, easy read so I'll let you know how it is!
