From School Library Journal
Grade 6-9–Dedicated to descriptions of daily life and culture, these colorful, inviting books focus on the period from 1550 B.C.E. to 1070 B.C.E., known as Egypt's New Kingdom. Distinguished by elegant design and high-quality reproductions, they offer numerous perspectives, including those of women, children, workers, and peasants. Quotes from ancient Egyptians usually illuminate the text, but their formal language might be difficult for younger readers. The chapters are broken up by more in-depth articles such as A Note on Dates, Dynasties, and Names and one on how to Eat Like an Egyptian. Hinds's writing is solid, never shying away from challenging vocabulary, and quotations are meticulously documented. These books lend themselves to thorough reading rather than skimming for quick facts, and will be useful purchases for libraries supporting research on the culture of this ancient civilization.–Marcia Kochel, Olson Middle School, Bloomington, MN
