The author, a retired English teacher, set out to write a book to entice reluctant readers. She used historically-based fiction to tell the tale of Tutankhamen's life and death. She did a great job with the vocabulary she chose for reluctant readers and people who struggle with reading. I taught special needs kids for years and I don't really see them eagerly picking up this book. There just aren't enough hooks in the story to keep them reading.

Overall score = 3.5 stars
