Orphan of the Sun

310 pp. | Bloomsbury | August, 2006 | Trade ISBN 1-58234-685-2 $16.95
(4) 4-6 Thirteen-year-old Meryt-Re doesn't want to marry the man her uncle has chosen for her, but an orphan girl in ancient Egypt doesn't have many choices. And it doesn't help that the villagers--including her best friend--think Meryt has dark powers. Though the characters are generally two-dimensional, the story's mystery aspect will keep readers interested and the extensively researched setting is well realized. Glos.
