Story summary: In Ancient Egypt, a young boy and his brother are taken under the wing of the new Pharaoh Akhenaten.

Why You Should Read This:- Interesting look at what it would have been like to live in such a time of drastic change in Ancient Egypt.
- Awesome illustrations.
- Surprising depth in the familial relations for a book for such young readers.
And Why You Shouldn't:
- It really is for children. I almost didn't count it on my reading count, because it's so short.
- You could possibly read a pro-relative-truth stance into it.
