Casting the Gods Adrift: A Tale of Ancient Egypt

104 pp. | Cricket | June, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-8126-2684-2 $$15.95
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Patricia D. Ludlow. Setting her tale in ancient Egypt during the reign of Ahkenaten, who tried to replace Egypt's numerous gods with one sun god, McCaughrean weaves a suspenseful story of a son who believes in the new god and his conflict with a father who believes in the old ones. Ludlow's illustrations, except for the distracting human figures, add to the well-told story by supplying visual flavor.
