Tiy is different than the other Egyptian girls–she has pale hair and more freckles than she wants to count. With her mother consumed by the need to keep up appearances, and her father too busy to care, Tiy just wants to disappear into the background. But her hope for a quiet life is shattered when she rescues Prince Amenhotep from a sandstorm and is rewarded with an invitation to attend the royal school in Egypt’s capital—-a place where girls like her will never fit in.

Amenhotep welcomes her into his close circle of friends and their friendship strengthens into a bond neither is willing to lose. But when Amenhotep becomes Pharaoh and is pressured by the priests to marry, the strength of their friendship is threatened. Will Tiy find enough courage to accept Amenhotep’s hand when he wants her to become the next Queen of Egypt, especially when her feelings run no deeper than friendship? And how can she protect him from the Nubian rebels who are determined to take control of Egypt?

My Review

Tiy and the Prince of Egypt by Debbie Dee is a fantastic upper middle grade historical fiction novel. I was swept up in Tiy and Amenhotep’s story right from the beginning. The story is beautifully written and quite suspenseful. This is one of those books where your ‘just one more page’ turns into staying up way too late when you have to work the next day. 😉 This would appeal to YA fantasy/fiction fans as well.
