If you're a Percy Jackson fan, you've probably heard that the first book in Rick Riordan's new series The Kane Chronicles, The Red Pyramid, is coming out today, Tuesday, May 4 - and if you're anything like us at the bookstore, you can't wait to read it either!

I had never been sure if there were going to be more after the first three, so I'm excited to announce that the fourth book, A Conspiracy of Kings, is set to come out on March 23, 2010!

Here is a short summary from the HarperCollins website to tide you over until March:
