Reach for this book when your child is navigating complex sibling dynamics or feels like an outsider in their own life. It is an ideal pick for readers ready to move beyond simple hero stories into narratives that explore cultural identity and the weight of family expectations. The story follows Carter and Sadie Kane, siblings who have been raised apart, as they discover their father is a magician who has accidentally unleashed ancient Egyptian gods into the modern world. Through a high-stakes quest, the book explores themes of bravery, grief over a lost parent, and the necessity of teamwork. While it is packed with cinematic action and mythological monsters, the core of the story is the developing bond between two very different siblings. It is a fantastic choice for middle-grade readers who enjoy fast-paced adventure but are also beginning to contemplate their own place in a diverse and complicated world.
