The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan
The front cover of the first book |
This book is the first of a trilogy, and I have enjoyed all three. The books are told as if they are a transcript of an audio recording, which makes the book very unique in its style. They are all very funny and I also learnt a lot about Egyptian mythology. The books aren't very hard reads, and I really recommend the whole trilogy!
Recommended age: 10-14

Ruby Red by Linzi Glass
The Front Cover |
When Ruby meets her new mothers prodigy, Julian and an Afrikaans boy, Johann, her life changes forever.
I really enjoyed this book, it was well written and I didn't get bored. I also found the history in the book interesting and I think it was portrayed very well. I might have enjoyed this book more than others as I have strong ties to South Africa. But I still think this book is well worth reading!
