The Crown of Ptolemy

In "The Crown of Ptolemy," the third installment of the Demigods and Magicians crossover series, fan-favorite characters Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase join forces with Egyptian magicians Carter and Sadie Kane. They face a formidable foe in Setne, an ancient Egyptian magician who has returned from the dead and is dangerously experimenting with both Greek and Egyptian magic to become a god. This fast-paced chapter book, told from Percy's humorous perspective, is packed with action, mythological lore, and the signature wit Rick Riordan fans adore. It's an excellent choice for readers aged 4-11 who enjoy adventure, teamwork, and exploring diverse mythologies, offering a satisfying conclusion to the crossover arc while reinforcing themes of collaboration and bravery.

In their first encounter, demigod Percy Jackson and magician Carter Kane had to battle a giant crocodile on Long Island. A month later, Annabeth Chase ran into Carter's sister, Sadie, on the A train to Rockaway, where the pair fought a god named Serapis. Now trouble is brewing again, this time on Governor's Island. An ancient Egyptian magician named Setne has come back from the dead and is experimenting with Egyptian and Greek magic, trying to become a god himself. He's so powerful and tricky that all four—Percy, Annabeth, Carter, and Sadie—have to team up against him. But their usual weapons and spells aren't going to cut it this time. Will the heroes be taken down by a wannabe god who looks like Elvis, or will they rise to the challenge? Told from Percy's point of view, this third demigod-magician crossover story has all of the spunk and action that Rick Riordan fans crave.
