But at the same time be careful not to become narrow-minded, or afraid of reading what is well written, quite the contrary, such writings are a source of comfort in life."

From the inside front cover flap:Lorna's father was an archaeologist and Lorna had spent most of her life in Egypt. She had grown up speaking Arabic as well as English and could read hieroglyphics as early as ABCs. To her, Egypt was the place to be, and acient Egypt was more real and more exciting than anything that could possibly happen in the dreary English boarding school her father insisted she must attend. To Ameni, who lived in ancient Egypt and was the son of Pharoah Senusert II, life in the Egyptian court was dull. He longed for freedom and adventures like those of Sinuhe, the story hero who went to distant Syria. Instead, he had endless lessons, some to train him as a priest of the god Osiris, and others to teach him the languages of all the nations near Egypt. Seperated by almost four thousand years, it might seem unlikely that these two should meet. Yet a walk in the hills near her father's current dig leads Lorna into danger and a strange discovery. And out of that discovery comes a meeting of past and present that generates a unique friendship and madcap trip across half of Europe to find a gang of thieves. |

For a children's book this is quite a read. I liked that the characters were well developed and that the plot was not insulting. In fact, it left a lot to ponder and wonder about the differences in the ancient and modern worlds.I would definately recommend this book. C |
