Very Well Written!, 2008-12-01
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!, 2008-11-17
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, 2008-11-08
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., 2008-10-05
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, 2008-06-30
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.
