Summary: Sean's view of the Pharaoh's Daughter
Comment: I read the book Pharaoh's Daughter, and I thought it was an overall good book. It was interesting to see Ancient Egypt through the eyes of Moses (spelled Mosis in the book) and his sister, Almah. It was filled with action and suspense.
In the story, Egyptian soldiers decided to take away every baby Hebrew boy, including Almah's younger brother Yekutiel, and feed them to the alligators. Almah wouldn't take this, though. When the soldiers came to their house, she and her family took off and hid Yekutiel. When Almah tried to find a hiding place, she met an Egyptian Princess that took her and her family into her arms.
The book was very interesting in that the author, Julius Lester, shows half of the book from the perspective of Almah, and the other half from Mosis's. It shows the part of Mosis's life that nobody hears about and reminds you that even great people like himself are just human and make mistakes..

Summary: The Pharaoh's Daughter
Comment: I got to read the book by reading its cover and I thought it was interesting so I bought the book and after I read it, I was amazed about the other part of Moses's family.
The Pharaoh's Daughter was about Moses's sister, Almah, and she had always wished to be royal, without worrying about chores and babysitting her little brothers and sister. Then, a tragic event happens, making all the Hebrews shake with fear, the Egyptian soldiers planned on taking away all of the Hebrew baby boys and planned on feeding it to the alligators. Almah's family's only baby son, Yekutiel, wasn't planned on to getting fed by alligators, so when the Egyptian soldiers started to evade the houses, Almah's family ran to hide Yekutiel in the bushes. Almah ran to look for a good hiding place and that was when her life changed. She had ran into an Egyptian princess and had dragged her into her Hebrew home and the princess's gratitude changed her Hebrew life.

Summary: My Thoughts about Pharaoh's Daughter
Comment: This book was very interesting. I thought it explained a lot about some of the life styles of the Egypians. IT kinda of confused me when the main characters were switch, but it was also interesting because you got to see the book from two different characters views. It also explains about the culture of moses and how he was torn between them. I also liked how the story expressed more of the palace life that moses experianced and the people who raised him.
