I cannot wait for my daughter to start reading Napoli's books. ( ) Kepi is a young Egyptian girl whose father was injured in the construction of the pyramids. Her father has plans to get their family back on track and she and her pet baboon Babu have a part in these plans. Unfortunately Babu is stolen and when Kepi goes after him, she too is kidnapped. When her and Babu are separated, she knows that she must go to the capital city to retrieve him and find a way to speak with the pharaoh about the injustice of what happens to those who get injured or killed working on the pyramid's and what happens to their families. Once in the city she makes friends with two boys, both orphans, one a slave and one an apprentice and another girl. Their trip takes them to places and to meet people they never imagined. I thought this was a really interesting take on who becomes a fairy and how they become a fairy. Fairy's are not typically something that I think of as being Egyptian. It was not a place I was ever expecting the story to go and I really appreciated the surprise. It's clear that the author did a lot of research on Ancient Egypt and it's culture and I always love historical fiction that really teaches you things.
