About the Book

You just tried out for the school play. And who wants the lead part more than anyone? YOU! Imagine wearing the finest jewels. Having a pyramid built just for you. Being bowed to and pampered wherever you go. It's quite a life when you're treated like a god. But that's the way it was for a pharaoh in ancient Egypt ...

Review :
The year is 1804 and you're Private George Shannon, a 17-year-old from Kentucky. Your mission? To join Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and "find a route to the Pacific Ocean, following the rivers as closely as possible." Much cooler than simply reading about the Lewis and Clark Expedition, right? The titles in the Way It Was series offer role-playing (in the form of a school play) as an entry point to history. A narrator, who appears on most spreads, speaks directly to the reader, telling him or her how to feel ("you're not scared") and providing commentary as each crisis--mosquitoes! frostbite!--presents itself. Sidebars on each page supply the hard facts, while cartoonlike images reflect the playful tone of the main narration. Your Life as a Private on the Lewis and Clark Expedition means facing the brutal winter at Fort Mandan and coming face-to-face with grizzly bears. In Your Life as a Pharaoh in Ancient Egypt, kids become Pharaoh Nebibi, living in 2401 BCE, who needs to supervise the construction of a pyramid. From there, readers wend through life in ancient Egypt, encountering tomb robbers and war. While the cartoon illustrations can make the Native Americans and Egyptians look stereotypical at times, for the most part, they're lively and engaging. A ton of fun and the closest kids can get (so far) to a time machine.-- "Booklist"
