The Eyes of Pharaoh by Chris Eboch: This mystery set
in 1350 BCE Egypt, for ages nine and up, introduces young readers to an ancient
world. The dangers and intrigues of the time echo in the politics of today,
while the power of friendship will touch hearts both young and old.
Great for Classroom Use
The Eyes of Pharaoh is ideal for use in elementary
and middle school classrooms or by homeschooling students studying ancient
Egypt.
Suzanne Borchers
says, “I teach a gifted class of fourth and fifth graders. Using this
historical fiction is a window into Ancient Egypt—its people, culture, and
beliefs. My class enjoyed doing research on Egyptian gods and goddesses, and
hieroglyphs. Projects extended their knowledge of this fascinating time and
place. I also highly recommend it for its fast paced plot, interesting and ‘real’
characters, and excellent writing.”
