The Kane Chronicles. Siblings Carter and Sadie Kane have just had their world rocked—by a real rock, the Rosetta Stone, which their father has just blown up.
And that’s just the beginning. The explosion released five powerful Egyptian gods—Isis, Horus, Set, Osiris, and Nephthys—from the Stone. The gods need mortal hosts to survive. Isis chooses Sadie; Horus chooses Carter. Rick Riordan Presents: Dragon Pearl, by Yoon Ha Lee. Rick Riordan Presents Yoon Ha Lee’s space opera about thirteen-year-old Min, who comes from a long line of fox spirits.
But you’d never know it by looking at her. To keep the family safe, Min’s mother insists that none of them use any fox-magic, such as Charm or shape-shifting. They must appear human at all times. Min feels hemmed in by the household rules and resents the endless chores, the cousins who crowd her, and the aunties who judge her. She would like nothing more than to escape Jinju, her neglected, dust-ridden, and impoverished planet. Read Rick’s interview with Yoon about the book here. The Heroes of Olympus. Argo II Book 3 Annabeth is terrified.
Just when she’s about to be reunited with Percy—after six months of being apart, thanks to Hera—it looks like Camp Jupiter is preparing for war. As Annabeth and her friends Jason, Piper, and Leo fly in on the Argo II, she can’t blame the Roman demigods for thinking the ship is a Greek weapon. With its steaming bronze dragon masthead, Leo’s fantastical creation doesn’t appear friendly. And that’s only one of her worries. Annabeth’s biggest fear, though, is that Percy might have changed. Narrated by four different demigods, The Mark of Athena is an unforgettable journey across land and sea to Rome, where important discoveries, surprising sacrifices, and unspeakable horrors await.
Note: The paperback edition features a new short story, The Staff of Serapis. View Book Page. The Trials of Apollo. Southern California Book 3 The formerly glorious god Apollo, cast down to earth in punishment by Zeus, is now an awkward mortal teenager named Lester Papadopoulos.
