Riordan, R. (2011). The throne of fire. New York: Disney/Hyperion.
This is a New York Times Bestseller.
Exposition: Sadie and Carter Kane are brother and sister who have special powers.
Conflict: They have to stop Apophis, the Egyptian god of Chaos, or the world will end. They need Ra, who is lost and very old.
Rising Action: They need the book of Ra, and Apophis is rising quickly, but they can't find Ra.
Climax: They finally find Ra, but he is unable to help, and Apophis has risen, but hasn't entered the mortal world.
Falling Action: Desjardins, the lord of Egyptian magic puts Apophis back in his prison, but it won't hold for long.
Resolution: Carter and Sadie have to figure out how to rehabilitate Ra and find a permanent way to defeat Apophis.
One literary quality Rick Riordan uses is tension - the reader wonders throughout if Carter and Sadie will succeed. The second is pacing, as this is fast paced.
