Pharaoh
~The boy who conquered the Nile
by Jackie French, HarperCollins, 2007
This is an excellent adventure about a boy born to be a leader. But Narmer has his birthright taken away in an incident which is physically debilitating and emotionally scarring. The worst part of this terrible ordeal is that it is caused by an act of betrayal.
But Narmer is mentally strong and has a chance to follow a completely different path with solid companions. He grasps this opportunity, and it is surely this decision which saves his life.
Thereafter we are taken on a fascinating journey through Ancient Egypt as this damaged boy regains his spirit and then his place in the world.
