Hard Back. Condition: Fine. Carpinello, Cheryl - Layout and Production (illustrator). First Printing Stated. 182 Pages. Signed by the author on the Title Page. It is a used book in as new condition with flawless interior text pages. This book travels back to 1330 BC Egypt. When 15-year-old Rosa agrees to help the ghost of King Tut find his lost queen Hesena, she doesn't count on falling for him. Once back in Ancient Egypt, Rosa discovers that finding Hesena is not all she must do: She must keep out of the reach of the living Horemheb, who crosses mortal boundaries using Seth's evil magic, if she is to stay alive to make it back home. This book is based on the schism that shot through ancient Egypt when, according to historians, the Pharaoh Akhenatenturned his back on Thebes and the gods of Egypt. He built his own city to honor his god the Aten, and he insisted that the people of Egypt do the same. Along with this, he supposedly refused to send troops to defend Egypt's borders thus incurring the wrath of the then General Horemheb. When Tutankhamen becomes pharaoh, he reverses Akhenaten's proclamations and returns the governing center to Thebes and the worship back to the god Amun. However, the damage has been done, and by the time Horemheb attains pharaoh status, he has proclaimed the betrayal of the Egyptian people by Akhenaten so widely and so much, all members of the family including Tutankhamen and Ankhsenamun and Ay are dishonored. The historical significance of this story is the main reason the author was able to write Sons of the Sphinx. Needing to help right a wrong done over 3000 years ago and reunite the boy king with his queen (whose tomb has yet to be identified or found), allows the protagonist Rosa the opportunity to come to terms with who she is and what her place is in this world. This book was the 2014 Literary Classics Silver Medal Winner for PreTeen/Tween. Signed by Author(s).

The text pages are clean and bright. "Soon after winning the Newbery Medal for her 1962 "junior novel" A Wrinkle in Time, L'Engle discussed children's books in The New York Times Book Review. The writer of a good children's book, she observed, may need to return to the "intuitive understanding of his own childhood," being childlike although not childish. She claimed, "It's often possible to make demands of a child that couldn't be made of an adult. A child will often understand scientific concepts that would baffle an adult. This is because he can understand with a leap of the imagination that is denied the grown-up who has acquired the little knowledge that is a dangerous thing." Of philosophy, etc. , as well as science, "the child will come to it with an open mind, whereas many adults come closed to an open book. This is one reason so many writers turn to fantasy (which children claim as their own) when they have something important and difficult to say." " (from Wikipedia); Signed by Author.

A hermit/recluse by nature, he often disappears into the Cascade Mountains for great lengths of time. He is a many-turned-man of poetry, history and all things biologic. The man is a myth maker, a storyteller, and one who is truly in-tune with the world around him. | The Sphinx is an American Nekomata story, combining some of Japan's greatest myths and tales, forms an altogether new myth, truly American. The Nekomata tradition dates back as far as the Kamakura era in Japan: Kenko Hoshi, a Buddhist monk of this era, began this tradition in his essays in idleness. These Nekomata stories have evolved as have stories of other traditions by continuing to make themselves new again for the modern reader. William Kuko has transcended this old form into a Poe-like tale akin to the American poetic tradition. In this epic an American myth begins to take shape. As with many of America's inhabitants, a girl, foreign born, has come to the United States to make her way. Unfortunately for her, the customs of her people and the layers of her former civilization haunt her. This girl, lacking a companion, feels compelled to buy a neko, and thus the story both ancient and yet modern unfolds. For those lacking in Japanese and Chinese customs and thought, this story is an intricately woven tapestry of old tales and thoughts, combining American idealism with the ideas of the Native Americans that all forms of life have a say in how things should exist.' ~ from the publisher.
