Customer Ratings:

• Very Well Written!. My sister has owned this book for 5 years, but I just got around to reading it. It is SUCH a good book! It was fascinating to be able to peek into the ancient Egyptian culture. The drama and the plot are SO GOOD! I was disappointed when I finished the book...I could ve started it over again right then and there! If you are looking for a good book to read...this is it!!!
• Exciting read!. I was actually taken back to the time of ancient Egypt! I shivered, got the chills, and laughed out loud at certain parts of the book. It is a REALLY good book. When I borrowed it from the library, I must of renewed it twice to keep it for 2 months! Excellent.
• Good read. Mara, a young slave girl in Pharaoh Hatshepsut s Egypt, is this center of this cute, fast-paced and worthwhile novel. Although this novel was meant for YA, it s very enjoyable for adults as well. Egypt comes alive as Mara navigates the intrigues of the royal palace, acting as interpreter due to her skill with languages. I won t give anymore away, but if you want a quick read, this will do nicely.
• Who doesn t love this novel.. Wow, I must ve read this book a hundred times as a teenager. I still pull it off my shelf from time to time and read it again.
• A childhood favorite. This was one book that I remember reading when I was in fourth grade. I bought this copy for my daughter, who is a total bookworm. If you are interested in Ancient Egypt, this book is wonderful.
