I'll be using this book with my 6th grade class. They are studying Ancient Egypt. The book contains challenging vocabulary. It also contains many elements of Ancient Egypt including the gods, burial of the dead, the afterlife, social classes, apprenticeship, etc. The story includes an abusive step brother and crime, but it also includes friendships and caring.

I absolutly loved this book. I read it when I was in middle school. I looked everywhere for it because I couldn't remember the name of the book. Then one day I figured it out and was so excited to get the book. I read it in about 3-4 days. It is a rather simply book for young adults. I think it portrays the ways of egyptian culture quite well! It is a great read! I'd recommend it to anybody!
Excellent book - very hard to put down!

"Awesome" is the word my 6th grade boy used to describe the book. It was a book his teacher required him to read but I never had to remind him to read. He looked forward to reading it. The book taught him a lot about Egypt and it has inspired him to learn more about history and ancient Egypt.
