Summary: Posative thoughts
Review: I found this book to very interesting. I thought it gave an accurate picture of Ancient Egypt and the characters seemed very real. A few of the characters even reminded me of people I know. The book also had a great plot that kept me dying to know what was going to happen next. I just had to keep reading to find out.

Summary: The Pharaoh's Daughter ( a Story that was never revealed bef
Review: I got to read the book by reading its cover and I thought it was interesting so I bought the book and after I read it, I was amazed about the other part of Moses's family that no one else shared to the world.
The Pharaoh's Daughter was about Moses's sister, Almah, and she had always wished to be royal, without worrying about chores and babysitting her little brothers and sister. Then, the Egyptian soldiers planned on taking away all of the Hebrew baby boys and planned on feeding it to the alligators. Almah's family's only baby son, Yekutiel, wasn't planned on getting fed by alligators, so when the Egyptian soldiers started to evade the houses, Almah's family ran to hide Yekutiel in the safe bushes. Almah ran to look for a good hiding place and that was when her life changed. She had ran into an Egyptian princess and had dragged her into her Hebrew home and the princess's gratitude changed her Hebrew life. Princess Meryetamun decided to keep Yekutiel and named it after a god,Thutmosis, to protect Moses from the evil Queen Asetnefret. That was when, ALmah was addicted to royal and palace life. She met the king and was welcomed as a second daughter in the palace. Then, Almah actually became the daughter of King Ramesses and Princess Meryetamun became the daughter of Abba and Ima, Almah's parents.
I liked the book because it had another part of Moses's story that no one knew about and when I read it, I was so involved in the story that I read it more than 3 times! It was a brave and challenging story and that was what made me so inspired to read it more, I couldn't stop because I was too addicted pause at least one second!

Review: I liked how the characters Almah, Meryetamun, Ramesses and Asetnefret are portrayed. I like the feelings the author gives Almah and Mosis while you are reading from there point of view. I thought the book was very interesting and easy to read. I thought Epilogue was good because you find out what Ramesses was really thinking about Mosis.

Summary: Sean's view of the Pharaoh's Daughter
Review: I read the book Pharaoh's Daughter, and I thought it was an overall good book. It was interesting to see Ancient Egypt through the eyes of Moses (spelled Mosis in the book) and his sister, Almah. It was filled with action and suspense.
In the story, Egyptian soldiers decided to take away every baby Hebrew boy, including Almah's younger brother Yekutiel, and feed them to the alligators. Almah wouldn't take this, though. When the soldiers came to their house, she and her family took off and hid Yekutiel. When Almah tried to find a hiding place, she met an Egyptian Princess that took her and her family into her arms.
The book was very interesting in that the author, Julius Lester, shows half of the book from the perspective of Almah, and the other half from Mosis's. It shows the part of Mosis's life that nobody hears about and reminds you that even great people like himself are just human and make mistakes..

Summary: Pharaoh's Daughter
Review: I thought the Pharaoh's Daughter was a good young adult book. It's a good book to learn more about how the Egyptians lived and what gods they worshiped. My favortie scene is when the Pharaoh comes and talks to Almah at the end of the book. It was cool to see how happy both the Pharaoh and Almah were when the Pharaoh told Almah Mosis was alive. I would recommend this book for high school boys and girls.

Review: I thought this book was very good. I thought that this book was very interesting and entertaining. The change between main characters made me lose interest until I began to understand the new character. This book had an interesting view into biblical times.

Summary: Rich and carefully crafted
Review: Lester's interpretation of Moses in the Bulrushes has a prince-and-the-pauper-like twist the pharaoh's daughter invites Mosis's sister and mother to come live at the palace with her and the baby she is taken in. Almah, the sister, is enraptured by the lavish lifestyle of Egyptian royalty and eventually becomes a priestess, while Princess Meryetamun begins to live a more simplified life. Conflict between the Habiru and Khemetian people is the central theme of the book. Lester includes rich details of ancient Egypt such as class distinctions, religion, food and dress; he remains true to the time and culture through
his language and carefully selected dialogue. I found the author's notes the best part of this book; although the novel was carefully researched, an interesting idea, and well-written, it just didn't get me excited about ancient Egypt. A glossary and bibliography are appended.

Summary: Pharaoh's Daughter
Review: Pharaoh's Daughter, by Julius Lester, is an easy read and an overall good book, especially if you are interested in ancient Egypt. The book starts off with the Pharaoh, Ramesses the Great, declaring that all the first born Habiru sons are to be killed. Moses' sister Almah, takes Moses (originally known as Yekutiel) to the river and hides him. The Princess, Meryetamun, finds Moses claiming that the goddess Taweret led her to him to make him her son. She takes baby Moses back to the palace along with his sister, Almah, and their mother. Eventually, Moses' mother leaves the palace but Almah stays there to live with Moses fore she is entranced by the royal lifestyle.
Almah, found her calling was to live in the palace and worship both gods and goddesses instead of Ya like she had been raised to and becomes a Priestess. Moses, however, is indecisive about what religion he wants to pursue. His whole life is mixed up. His Habiru sister speaks and worships like a Khemetian and his mother, Meryetamum, worships only Ya and acts more like a Habiru. Moses is torn between two worlds fore he is not a Habiru nor a Khemetian. Now, I don't want to give away the entire story, so I'll just say this: Moses kills someone and is forced to leave Khemet in secret with the help of his sister Almah.I found this book to be interesting because Julius Lester tells much of what ancient Egypt was like and created in-depth characters that you can relate to. One of my favorite parts of the story is when Almah looks into Meryetamum's golden mirror and sees her reflection clearly for the first time. She notices that she is not ugly, but beautiful and feels like the goddess Eset. It is then she knows her true path.
