Other Details
Parental Guidance
Parents need to know that The Serpent's Shadow is the third book in the Kane Chronicles, in which Rick Riordan, the popular author of the Greek mythology series Percy Jackson, takes on Egyptology. Percy Jackson fans will want to read it, but know that young fantasy lovers should be a little older to tackle it -- at least 10, with some help from parents to keep all of the Egyptian gods and Ancient Egyptian history and mythology straight. There's a big helping of fantasy violence as teen characters fight for their lives but never any truly gory details, and the mood is always lifted with plenty of humor. You couldn't ask for a better brother-sister team than Carter and Sadie, who both exhibit lots of bravery and loyalty while supporting each other and becoming true leaders.

Hi I am Teacher Kaylyn and I have been working with children in many different ways for over 15 years in many different ways. Most recently I have taught online for online since 2019, teaching ESL and here on Outschool. I have a 6 year old son and I am used to high energy fun. I love to make learning fun and I want to share my interests with others. Since I do have a young son I love to teach young students. It is great when they figure something out and you can see something click. I love to read and I really like to do book studies to share that love with others. I have learned that to start a passion for reading you need to find the right books that you can't put down. I want to help others to their own books they are passionate about. I love to make candies and my family loves it when I do also; they get all the samples. I hope to see you in class soon!Reviews
