=Hi my name is Carter Kane, I am a fairly tall boy who is at the near age of twelve and I have a sister named Sadie Kane. Also I am an African American who has amazing reflexes. I have brown hair and I wear nice clothes because my dad says that since we travel a lot I need to look very sharp. Although Sadie says it looks lame, while she wears a pair **of blue jean and a t shirt overlapped by a leather jacket. Well she doesn't need to look sharp because she doesn't travel. I am forced to travel with my dad because he is an archeologist who often goes to Egypt.** = =I think it's unfair though because Sadie gets to go to school and make friends while I'm stuck on an airplane half of every day, but I've taught myself to be more independent. Although Sadie and I are seperated, the two days we get together we try to make the best of.= =Sadie has the power of hieroglyphs and is the same as the magicians, and all I can do is carry a sword around and look brave with a couple of nice reflexes. Just because she can make little doors explode everyone looks at her like she's the special one and expects her to work magic. That is another thing I think is unfair is because I have to live in the magic world metaphorically speaking, and she gets it handed to her. One thing I will admit though is that she is a lot more brave than I am. Sadie also lives in new york as well as I do but I wouldn't consider it my home since I only stay in one place for a short amount of time.= = = = = = = = = =The setting in this book is in Egypt, where there are mythological gods and goddesses who have the power to make your life better or make you suffer. Everywhere you turn there's someone new to fight off. It's also a place where you have to crawl in tight spaces, and run and run when you or your family has a bad history with the gods.= =For example the characters in the book had a bad history and they suffered the consequences, very harshly. Since the gods and godesses in this book are mythological, anything could happen.= =Like if you go swimming you might end up in a sea monsters stomach. Or if you go to a museum you might run into a four headed dinosaur. Although if the gods weren't mythological or magical, you would just have a dinosaur and you'd just go swimming. Not nearly as exciting. In Egypt it is also very dry so it contain a fair amount of scorpions and a short amount o water.= =Scorpions come in where it would be a challenge to go through all the things while trying to make sure your a safe distance away from the scorpion, and it doesn't help that the scorpion queen is chasing you.= =Other than in Egypt they also lived in sanfrancisco where creatures still roam and where it's not as hot as in the desert. Also it is a lot more noisy and populated than Egypt, but it still has the same effect as Egypt. For example when the cat godess in town driving at 150 miles an hour the cats are rapidly gathering close by. Another example is setting magic on a building to protect it from the monsters, they'll tear it town with a couple of strikes leaving you with little delay.= = = = = = = =Conflict= = = =Hello it's Carter again, now I know you must think that my life is all simple and fun with all the magic and stuff, but your wrong. First of all there are many conflicts, and when you think that one thing is about to happen, it's the exact opposite. Another thing is there are a lot of consequences for every conflict you have with the gods.= =For example,my dad was trying to force was of the gods out of being trapped to bring my mom back to life, but in stead, he let all the trapped gods and monsters out and they trapped him. Ever since then we've been chased, as his children, by a ton of magical creatures, like the scorpion goddesses= =Going back to the conflicts though it's hard to live without my parents, and up ti'll now I only have seen Sadie two days a year. Once our dad was trapped our uncle came and took Sadie from her home and we were both practicly forced to live with with him, in a magic mansion, where he disapeared on us.= =Then when we thought all hope was lost, and we were about to be eaten by a large sea monster, Zia came in and saved us. She took us to a base underneath an airport. She also saved us from a ton of monsters. Although in the end our dad was never rescued, and our mom is still dead. We just have to wait for the next hero to come along. Who knows it could be you!=
