About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is ready to transition into longer stories but needs high-octane action to keep them engaged. It is an ideal bridge for the reader who feels small in a big world and craves stories about finding inner strength and standing up for what is right. Set in an ancient Egyptian landscape filled with mythic stakes, the story follows Akori, an orphan who must rescue imprisoned gods from a dark pharaoh. While the battles with vultures and monsters are intense, the heart of the book lies in Akori's resilience and his growing sense of justice. Parents will appreciate the clear distinctions between good and evil and the emphasis on bravery in the face of overwhelming odds. It is a fast-paced, accessible adventure that builds reading stamina through short, cliffhanger chapters.
