About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting to feel the weight of growing expectations or needs a boost of confidence to tackle a new challenge. It is an ideal choice for the child who often imagines themselves as a hidden hero waiting for their moment to shine. The story follows Akori, an orphaned farm boy who discovers he is the rightful heir to the throne and must rescue the Egyptian gods from an evil Pharaoh. While the plot is high stakes and filled with monsters, the emotional core focuses on the transition from a simple life to one of significant responsibility. It explores how courage is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to act in spite of it. At 156 pages with a fast-paced narrative, it is perfectly calibrated for independent readers aged 7 to 10 who are ready for chapter books that feel epic but remain accessible and focused on clear themes of justice and self-discovery.
