Tutankhamun (5/5 stars, ages 9 and up)
After thirty-two centuries of lying hidden in the Egyptian Valley of the Kings, King Tutankhamun’s sacred, royal tomb was discovered by a British archaeologist, and Tut’s story became known throughout the world. Demi sets King Tutankhamun’s life in the context of the religious beliefs of his ancestors.
Born to a pharaoh who had the revolutionary idea that all of Egypt must worship only one god, Tut ascended the throne and restored religious freedom to the Upper and Lower kingdoms. He allowed his subjects to worship either the one god, Aten, of his father or the many shapes and forms of the sun god, Amun, whom they had worshiped since ancient times.
Using research that includes the artifacts in King Tutankhamun’s tomb, Demi shares the rich details of the king’s life, from ostrich to lion hunts, to the challenges of ruling his Kingdom. Demi’s storytelling skills and magnificent artwork, inspired by Egyptian line in paintings, architecture, sculpture, and jewelry, reveal the life of a remarkable king who has been watching us “across a span of more than 3,000 years.”
The Case of the Purloined Professor – The Tails of Frederick and Ishbu (4.5/5 stars, chapter book, ages 9 and up)
Frederick and Ishbu live in Miss Dove’s classroom, where they learn–and eat–to their hearts’ content.
But one fateful evening Natasha arrives with disturbing news: her father, a famous professor and scientist, has gone missing! For the second time in their lives, the rats embark on a worldwide journey.
They travel the globe to save their friend and meet such colorful characters as a secret clan of badgers, two vicious rat terriers, and a stuffy English show mouse.
It’s another whirlwind adventure they’ll never forget!
Tunjur! Tunjur! Tunjur!: A Palestinian Tale (4.5/5 stars, picture book, ages 6 and up)
There was once a woman who had a little pot for a child. Tunjur! Tunjur! Tunjur!—that was the sound the pot made as it rolled everywhere.
Unfortunately the pot wasn’t old enough to know the difference between right and wrong.
That naughty pot ran off with things that did not belong to her until she learned her lesson . . . the hard way!
In this retelling of a Palestinian folktale, children will discover that there are consequences for taking things that don’t belong to them.
