'I teach a gifted class of fourth and fifth graders. Using this historical fiction has been a window into Ancient Egypt-its people, culture, and beliefs. My class enjoyed doing research on Egyptian gods and goddesses, and hieroglyphs. Projects extended their knowledge of this fascinating time and place. I also highly recommend it for its fast-paced plot, interesting and ’real’ characters, and excellent writing.' - teacher Suzanne B. 'It is informative and educational and it is not only about Egypt but also about friendship and loyalty. The many dimensions in the plot make it an engaging read. The characters are relatable and the author’s writing gives a good pace to the story. The twists and turns in the plot make it a compelling read.' - Readers’ Favorite
