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.

5.0 out of 5 stars While it looks beautiful, there are hardly any interesting experiments
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2020

This book is so cute and I coupled it with an idea I piggy backed from a celebrity to make a unique gift. I purchased two cloth sacks and bought the ingredients for two of the experiments and separated them in the bags and also put the name of the experiment on the bag and the page number. Such a cool idea because once they get the whole present they are ready to go for at least two. I also chose two of them that had an ingredient which you could find in some of the others like wood skewers, rubber bands, glue, etc.

Okay, my eight year old daughter is really into mythology and adores these books. She finds them hysterical, and so do I. The Valhalla one about Norse mythology is another great buy!

Básicamente compro los libros de este autor por colección y creo que este verdaderamente vale la pena. Obviando que el contenido es tan divertido como el autor siempre nos ha acostumbrado, las ilustraciones aunque no son a color son la cosa más linda. Y amo la forma en que juegan con el texto según los capítulos, de lo que traten y quién esté hablando. Además es de tapa dura y trae al final en orden alfabético datos generales sobre los magos.
