When Isis gets pregnant ahead of the normal schedule, Isadora won’t tell her mother about her dark prophetic dreams. This discovery launches Isadora on a petulant, stubborn journey. But although her parents are immortal Egyptian gods, they will let her die instead of keeping her with them forever. Her days are an odd combination of interior design and god worship. ![]() ![]() Isadora is the daughter of Isis and Osiris, who are unusual parents, and she’s not your typical teen either. ![]() Despite the promising premise, this latest from White achieves only demigod status at best. The relationship between a teen and her parents is complicated-especially if that family is full of Egyptian gods. ![]()
