"Since their mother’s death, Carter and Sadie have become near strangers. While Sadie has lived with her grandparents in London, her brother has traveled the world with their father, the brilliant Egyptologist, Dr. Julius Kane. One night, Dr. Kane brings the siblings together for a "research experiment" at the British Museum, where he hopes to set things right for his family. Instead, he unleashes the Egyptian god Set, who banishes him to oblivion and forces the children to flee for their lives. Soon, Sadie and Carter discover that the gods of Egypt are waking, and the worst of them--Set--has his sights on the Kanes. To stop him, the siblings embark on a dangerous journey across the globe--a quest that brings them ever closer to the truth about their family, and their links to a secret order that has existed since the time of the pharaohs. "

Movie and other stuff...

Hey CHB'ers!

I apologize for having to miss the movie the other week. As many of you know already, I was hit in my car by a "monster" of some sort. I think he got a "whif" of me through the mist and could sense my demi-god smells. Ugh. The monster came out of nowhere and totaled my car. I did walk away with some slight injuries, but nothing compared to what Percy faced after killing the Minotaur.

Anyways, please post what you thought about the movie! I liked the effects, but thought they left waaaaay too much out from the story! What a bummer!

Few things to take note of:

Meeting this week at The Big House - Room 1209 on Thursday, March 4, 2010
Bring treats if you can!
We will be making posters for our "action figures" and "Barbie dolls" based off of Greek heroes, Gods, Goddesses, and characters from the PJ series.

Next Meeting

'Tis that time of year again
To come together as friends

The day is that in which we honor
The greatest god of all

Rain, lightning, thunder, hail
All that may fall

Known to us as Zeus
Or the famous god Thor

God of sky and thunder
In Roman, he is Jupiter

Come on this day
The first of the tenth

The place where we meet
Can you find it?

Don't get lost.
It's not the labyrinth!

2:30-3:45
