## *Differences from the Novel*

* Some of the humor from the novel is left out, such as some of Sadie & Carter's characteristics.

### *Chapter One*

* The Graphic Novel begins slightly differently. Instead of describing Carter & Sadie's characters, it dives right into the scene where Julius and Ruby Kane are releasing Bast from Cleopatra's Needle.
* Sadie is seen with Muffin waiting for her brother and father to arrive.
* Zia Rashid wants to kill Carter and Sadie with her staff instead of a knife.
* The visit with Sadie's grandparent's and the police is left out. The Kanes are taken out of the museum and straight to the magic boat by Amos.
* The magic boat is not controlled by Amos's coat and hat.
* Amos gives Muffin to Sadie, and Muffin doesn't put up a fight when Sadie goes into the mansion.
* Amos opens the mansion doors instead of Carter.
* Amos saved Carter's bag from the museum instead of the police.

### *Chapter Two*

* Sadie bribes Khufu with "Happy-Os" instead of Cheerios.
* Sadie summons Doughboy with slightly different words.
* The Kanes don't look at the "Blood of the Pharaohs" scroll.
* Instead of finding a convertible to steal, Bast rips the top off a regular car and steals it.
* Bast has short hair.
* Set does not send carriers to chase after Bast and the Kanes.
* The car flips over from an eruption of scorpions and Serqet battles them immediately.
* Sadie never tries the portal in Central Park.
* Zia trips Sadie and puts a knife to Carter's throat instead of battling Serqet with The Seven Ribbons. Also, Serqet arrives after they go through the Portal.

### *Chapter Three*

* The three magicians arrive in the Hall of Ages rather than the Cairo Airport. The scene where Carter battles the ba is missed.
* Sadie does not use a magic spell to escape her room and when she goes into the vision, Anubis doesn't talk to her.
* Carter is not seen all night during his stay at the First Nome.
* Iskandar pulls Sadie out of the memory instead of waking her from it.
* Sadie and Carter don't have Ma'at painted on their tongues together and they don't drink the water from Thoth's statue.
* Muffin is seen slinking around The Temple Of Luxor.
* The Kanes portal to Washington D.C. instead of France and miss those scenes.
* The Sphinxes advance on the Kanes without any orders.
* Muffin jumps in the portal after the Kanes.
* Zia helps the Kanes escape before finding out that Iskandar is dead
* Desjardins is the one who tells Zia that Iskander is dead instead of an initiate.

### *Chapter Four*

* Bast and the Kanes never eat in the Washington Monument.
* In her ba trip, Sadie floats in front of Nut's face instead of being ushered by Anubis to her living room.
* Carter is never stopped by a police officer nor saved by "Aunt Kitty" aka Bast in the airport.
* They are never seen on the plane.

### *Chapter Five*

* Bast states that Thoth doesn't get along with all goddesses instead of just her.
* Carter does not play basketball against the baboons.
* Thoth is first seen at his computer instead of playing guitar.
* There are no ibises to been seen, nor are they mentioned.
* Carter mentions how Elvis Presley died.
* Thoth's shabti attack them before they enter the house. Also, much of the fighting in Graceland is missed.
* At Elvis's grave, the Kanes find The Book of Overcoming Set instead of an Ankh.
* Shezmu never tries to stop The Egyptian Queen from entering the Land of the Dead.
* Bast enters the Hall of Judgement before getting attacked by Anubis.
* Anubis doesn't make a bench out of mummy wrappings.

### *Chapter Six*

* Carter never goes on the porch of the RV because they "borrowed" a FEMA trailer with no porch. Thus, Carter never hears from Zia to meet her at Las Cruses.
* Sobek never sends his minions to attack Carter and Khufu.

* When Sadie has her dream vision of Geb, he heals her instead of telling her to go to Las Cruses.
* The House of Life meet the Kanes in the desert instead of Las Cruses.
