I wanted to read this book because I was learning about ancient Egypt in my class, and I thought it might be fun to read. Before I read this book I was a little skeptical about how it wasn't as long as some of the other books in the bookstore, but it was truly amazing. It had a great plot and gave you a good idea of what was happening in your mind. This book had me turning the page to see what was coming next. Take it from me, it was a great fictional story well worth the price!
