Amuba, a Rebu, is captured by Egyptians and lives in Egypt with Ameres, a high priest. Ameres' son, Chebron, soon becomes close friends with Amuba. One day Chebron accidentally kills his sister's cat that is sacred to the Egyptians. The boys hide the evidence but confess to Ameres. Unfortunately, Ameres is killed by a jealous priest and the children find themselves fleeing for their lives.
Very exciting yet the reader learns a lot about Ancient Egypt while enjoying the story.
I especially appreciated how he integrated Christianity and Biblical history but it was so smoothly incorporated that it was not preachy or in your face.
We listened to this book on CD.
*Highly recommend.
