August 23, 2009: I read this book when i was in 6th grade as a class. I am now 17 and i have been looking for this book for a long time. i am going to order it because i remember i loved it so much. I am a real history and English junkie so this book is a great choice. The plot is exciting and suspensful. It teaches some about egypt history. the climax made me never want to stop reading it. (remember this was when i was in 6th grade.) If you are looking for a good book for your child this, I think, would sufice.

January 09, 2009: OK, what's going on? I've seen all these TERRIBlE reviews for the book. It's a great book! Just because it's historical fiction and takes place about 3000 years ago doesn't make it boring! It's a wonderful book! The only bad part about it is the cover. Very bad cover. I have an older copy and the cover is SO MUCH BETTER. Oh and by the way, I'm doing this for my book report. If you're one of the few people who actually APPRECIATE Ms. Mcgraw, then read Moccasin Trail. It's great too!
