The Serpent's Shadow by Richard Riordan Reviewed by Jack on 08/01/12 Sadie and Carter Kane have awoken Apophis, the chaos serpent. They have to defeat him in a very small amount of time before he swallows the sun and plunges the world into eternal darkness allowing chaos to rule everything. But they have a hunch. After retrieving the shadow box from the Dallas Museum, they believe they could use it to execrate Apophis. In this book, the shadow is part of ones' soul. But there's only one guy who knows this magic.....Sethe, a murderous, back-stabbing, cruel, lying ghost. Will they destroy Apophis in time? It was one of the best books I've read. Adventurous, funny, exciting and fantasy, my favorite combo. |

The clock hits 12:07 am. Conor gets out of bed and goes to the window. He expects the monster from his nightmare, the nightmare he's had since his mother started her treatments, the one with the darkness, the wind, and the screaming. But this monster is different. It wants the truth. This book is on the 7 - 8 grade booklist. Funny but dramatic. An awesome book. Grades 5 - 6 |
