I skipped around and read a few chapters of this book, but based on what I've read, I would not recommend this book. The children in the book are disobedient to their parents. They roll their eyes at their parents rules and do not honor their parents. Those negative attitudes towards parents were not portrayed in a negative light in any of the chapters that I read. Furthermore, the kids in the book are summoned by Egyptian gods, looking for omens, sacrificing to gods, and the like. At the very least, this goes against the Ten Commandments, "You shall have no other gods before me" (Exodus 20:3, ESV). Also, while not portrayed in a positive light, murder is a big part of the storyline. The Bible says: "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things" (Philippians 4:8, ESV). This book does not seem to fit these guidelines.
