Mara is a proud and beautiful slave girl who yearns for freedom. In order to gain it, she finds herself playing the dangerous role of double spy for two arch enemies - each of whom supports a contender for the throne of Egypt.

Against her will, Mara finds herself falling in love with one of her masters, the noble Sheftu, and she starts to believe in his plans of restoring Thutmose III to the throne. But just when Mara is ready to offer Sheftu her help and her heart, her duplicity is discovered, and a battle ensues in which both Mara's life and the fate of Egypt are at stake.

I am reading it to teach language arts to a sixth grader. I’m 76 and find many words I don’t know. She will be struggling to read it. I’m advising her to wait until ninth grade.

My daughter read this as a middle-schooler (intermediate ancient history study guide) and loved it - it became a re-read.

This was not one of my son's favorites. He found it difficult to read (advanced 6th grader) and the subject was not interesting to him.
