An unforgettable story of magic and an orphan who yearns to belong.
From the creator of over 300 museum and science center exhibits worldwide comes an exciting, ancient Egyptian adventure for kids age 8-14.
Ancient Egypt: Ramses is an orphan with a strange skill. He has a magical talent for drawing. His pictures of the gods are so real that they appear to breathe with life. The sight terrifies Ramses' evil caretakers, who call him cursed and punish him for his unique powers. But not everyone thinks he's cursed. When Ramses' parents were alive, they loved him and called his talent a gift. He doesn't know who or what to believe anymore. Then, famous craftsmen come looking for an artist to paint the walls of King Tut's tomb. Ramses longs to win the position. If he does, he might just find where he belongs. But if he fails, he'll never escape his cruel caretakers.
