About book Casting The Gods Adrift: A Tale Of Ancient Egypt (2003)

This story his about a young boy who finds himself in the palace of the Pharaoh Akhenaten and Queen Nefertiti. He his a stone carver who carves beautiful things to be placed in the Pharaoh's tomb for the afterlife. There is a lot of discussion about the Pharaoh's worship of the Sun God, Aten, as the one true God and outlawing the worship of the other Gods.At the end the little boy in the story is the one who makes the famous bust of the Queen Nefertiti to honor them because King Tut, who follows Akhenaten, outlaws any reference to the one-god worshipers. This is an interesting period in Egyptian History which I have studied. I felt that it was well done and interesting. My kids asked me to keep reading and we read it in on setting.
