Pharaoh's Daughter: A Novel of Ancient Egypt

I really love this book - both from a history point of view and from a dratmatic point of view.I first read this book when I was in middle school and I really liked it a lot. I thought it was a great book - it taught about another culture/religion/way of life, while also keeping an adequate amount of character drama in the book to keep my attention. I have read complaints about the nudity in other reviews, but it is not like anyone is having sex - the book simply states that the religious dances are done in the nude, which is a fact, not a fantasy. I do not feel this book is anappropriate for the age group it was written for. I was fascinated by the story, and have recently reread it and I still think that it is an interesting read.It teaches you about finding your own path while not forgetting where you came from, and how to find the strength to be your own person.

Great historical context for studying Ancient Egypt with middle school.

When I discovered that this book was going to be about Moses, I almost didn't read it. "The 10 Commandments" bothers me so much with its inaccurate portrayal of the ancient Egyptians. Pharaoh's Daughter was nothing like it! The author really did well in putting the reader back in that time, using words and phrases that fit the time, names that would have been used... and best of all, the characters were more true to what we know of that time!It was so beautifully written, I wanted to drench myself in it.

Great book! I used for my M.S. English class. The kids loved. It's easy to read and understand. Great historical fiction.

Wouldn’t recommend for young children. A few weird things in this book

I loved that book and I recommend it to anyone who has lived in Egypt.

Good book

interesting story
