By: Rick Riordan

Narrated by: Kevin R. Free, Fiona Hardingham, Donnabella Mortel, Kaleo Griffith, Jason Culp, Rob Shapiro

Calling all young magicians of Egypt! If the blood of the pharaohs runs in your veins, you can't afford to be without this guide to Ancient Egyptian deities and creatures, and Carter and Sadie Kane's world of magic.

Greetings, initiate! Carter Kane, here. Congratulations on reaching Brooklyn House in one piece. This accomplishment signals that you're descended from Ancient Egyptian royalty, and you have magic powers. But what good is power without knowing how to use it? That's where this training manual comes in. Packed with quizzes, stories, and insights about Ancient Egyptian deities, creatures (the friendly and the deadly), the mysterious Duat, and more, this primer will prime those with the blood of the pharaohs to take their first steps down the path of the gods. You'll hear from me, other magicians (including my sister, Sadie), and even a few of the gods themselves. But beware of tricks and surprises: anything can happen in the world of Egyptian magic.

The handbook with no spells

Good stories, some interesting things about the gods, too much time devoted to the quizzes, and no spells. The magician’s handbook with no spells is like a math book with no equations.

The various performances

I like the underlying concept but the story is a little thin. Could have used some more detail and more stories.

Great

It was really great I love this series but the narration wasn’t the same as the rest of the books which kind of bothered me but that could just be me😃

Narration

I just wish the narrators were the same ones for Carter and Sadie as they were from the main audiobooks

Remembering Katherine Kellgren (Sadie)

Fiona Hardingham does a wonderful job, but it is important to acknowledge the passing of the first Sadie Kane, Katherine Kellgren, who was taken from us far too soon.

Katherine Kellgren’s family has asked that anyone wishing to commemorate her life donate to The Hispanic Federation to help the people of Puerto Rico.
