Pharaoh's Daughter is by Julius Lester. This book is a retelling of the story of Moses from the point of view of his sister. It begins when Moses is found by Pharaoh's daughter and ends when he runs from Egypt after killing an Egyptian. The Egyptian scholarship in this book is stellar. You feel like you're actually there. Some Christians however, might find parts of this story disturbing. The writer is not writing from a Christian worldview, don't expect Charlton Heston and The Ten Commandments here. If this is not a problem for you, you will find this historical fiction enjoyable.
Ratings: 8th grade - 6 out of 10.
