I won't even tell you how much I loved this book as teen or how much I crushed on Ameni. Okay, you want a slightly unconventional teen romance? Try reading the story of a newly awakened Egyptian prince/god/mummy and the archaeologists daughter who befriends him.
I picked this up from a library book sale and I think it holds together fairly well as a story although I won't try to tell you it's deeply meaningful stuff, but it doesn't have pretend at it. Actually, the story does bring u More...

This book is like a version of The Mummy for younger audiences. It's not scary like an R.L Stine book, more of a adventure type book. I wished it was longer just so that you could see more of Lorna teaching Ameni, his reactions to things, Lorna's history, and an epilogue would have been cool. But I'm not saying that the novel was incomplete. I didn't notice anything in the novel where there needed to be more information for me to understand what was going on. The only real critique I have for th

I read this book very young and it is that book that I read that got me into reading. The friendship between Lorna and Ameni is such a meaningful friendship and the lessons I took from it were always endearing. As a kid, I had a love for Egyptology which this book only exacerbated. I was able to learn a lot while developing my first real crush for a character.

Read this 1st when I was in grade school and I still love and consider it one of my favorite books of all-time. It may be an easy kid read but it says a lot about a book if 15 years later you still own and and still love it!

The book is flawed in a lot of ways, but pure unadulterated love (mine, towards the book) earns it five stars as far as I'm concerned. It's not perfect, but it's such a wonderful read it's easy to ignore any flaws.

Excellent novel that is not only fantasy but also historical fiction and a great mystery. Anyone who is studying ancient Egypt will really enjoy this young author novel.

i actually enjoyed this book. since no one i know has read it, i liked being able to read without a clue of what was going to happen next. i found myself staying up late turning the pages wanting more and more. i was sad when the story ended, but happy with the conclusion. i wish i could read more, but i like to make up my own story for what happens to the characters when all the pages have been turned.

Ah. I love this book. When an Egyptian prince is awoken by a modern teen, they must find a sacred object to save what the prince holds dear. If you like Egypt, if you like just a dash of romance, if you like a book that makes you happy and sad at the same time, this is for you. A great read!
