"I am 11 years old and I read this book, it was awesome, I could not put this book down."
Siblings Zet and Kat are in charge now that their father is off fighting the Hyksos. But keeping food on the table is easier said than done. Sales are slow at their family market stall. It seems adults don't approve of two children running the place.
One day, Zet spots a thief running through their market square. When the thief gets away, the medjay police announce a reward for the man's capture. In desperate need of money, the siblings set off on a dangerous investigation--an investigation that brings them into forbidden temples, into chapels whispering with the voices of ancient gods, drawing them ever closer to a frightening truth that threatens to crush their family forever.

But now, their ranks are dwindling. They desperately need an apprentice. On a nearby farm, Ramses, an orphan with a strange skill, believes he is destined to go there. Ramses has a magic talent for catching the gods inside his drawings. He must fight to understand his frightening powers. He must struggle against the people sworn to care for him, against hundreds of years of tradition, against the gods themselves, to fulfill his destiny.

Review From the Historical Novel Society
Set in the ancient Egypt of 1323 BC, thisis the story of a boy named Ramses who has great skill at drawing but, when we meet him, horrible luck: his parents have died, and their farm has passed to his imperious, short-tempered Aunt Zalika and Uncle Hay, who install themselves in the family home, install their sickly son Sepi in Ramses' old room, and send Ramses himself out to work in the fields with the rest of the hired hands. Fortunately, the farm manager and his wife are kind people who stick up for Ramses--and he also gets along quite well with his cousin, who one day informs him that the revered temple called the Place of Truth is looking outside its own dwindling ranks for a new apprentice. There's to be a contest, and Ramses longs to compete, despite all the obstacles in his way. This novel is billed as a young adult story, but Peters is such a natural and gifted storyteller, so adept at bringing the sights and sounds and smells of ancient Egypt alive, that readers of all ages will be swept along. --Steve Donoghue, Historical Novel Society, 2012, All rights reserved
