"The Red Pyramid" by Rick Riordan

Carter and Sadie Kane have lead relatively normal lives, apart from only seeing each other twice a year and living a life that the other wants. Everything goes downhill when their father Julius Kane, brings them to a museum and unleashes ancient Egyptian Gods. Suddenly, Carter and Sadie have not-so-normal lives. They find out that they have an uncle Amos and that they are the last in the blood line of the pharaohs of ancient Egypt. Thrust into a world of hieroglyphs and magic, life can get a bit hectic. Now as hosts for Gods, Carter and Sadie must find a way to defeat the horrible demon God Set, before their uncle and father lose their souls forever. As young hosts, they learn the magic and powers of the Gods, but will their experiences be enough to save their only family and the world?
