The Serpent's Shadow (The Kane Chronicles Book 3)īrooklyn House Magician’s Manual (The Kane Chronicles, Hardback ) The Throne of Fire (The Kane Chronicles Book 2) We all really enjoyed it.The Red Pyramid (The Kane Chronicles Book 1) Oh - did I say it's very funny in places - Sadie's sarcasm in particular. Listeners learn a lot about Egyptian mythology and Gods, but again you need 2 listenings to get the real knowledge and understanding. It's actually better the second time because there is so much information you miss lots the first time through. My family (3 kids aged 11,9 and 7 - boys and girls) listened to this twice through. The relationship between brother and sister is very well portrayed, from initial irritation to a growing love and respect. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The narrators are excellent - Jane bringing to life Sadie's character and wit and the same for Joseph May. What does Jane Collingwood and Joseph May bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book? There were so many - I can't recall the most memorable. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Red Pyramid: The Kane Chronicles, Book 1? Would you consider the audio edition of The Red Pyramid: The Kane Chronicles, Book 1 to be better than the print version? An excellent book which appeals to both sexes
