  • Great story for those studying Ancient Egypt

    I'll be using this book with my 6th grade class. They are studying Ancient Egypt. The book contains challenging vocabulary. It also contains many elements of Ancient Egypt including the gods, burial of the dead, the afterlife, social classes, apprenticeship, etc. The story includes an abusive step brother and crime, but it also includes friendships and caring.
