Author Spotlight July 2022
Author Spotlight July 2022 Book Review - I read " Son of the Sphinx " and liked this Historical Fiction overall. I really enjoyed Rosa’s voice and the whole concept of time traveling with King Tut. The book was pretty historically accurate and well written. The few black and white illustrations fit well with the book. I really liked how the author posted several index like a map and a list of the various Pharaohs. Even though the concept of the story was good I did want to see King Tut more developed he seemed like a background character here. I also would have loved for there to be more interaction with the past, it kind off did not work out when both characters looked from the outside and could not have been seen. In general, this is a pretty good book that could have been made better. It does give the readers a nice look into the history of Ancient Egypt and is a good read for middle graders. Overall, I give this book 4 stars. Bio. I'm a lover of mythology,
