About this listen

An unforgettable story of magic, art, and an orphan who yearns to belong.

From the author of the best-selling Kid Detective Zet Series and the award-winning I Escaped Series comes a thrilling, ancient Egyptian adventure for kids age 8-14.

Every kid will be inspired by this heart-warming 'rags to riches' Cinderella-story.

In the heart of Ancient Egypt, Ramses is anything but an ordinary boy. He has a knack for drawing that brings his creations to life-literally. He's more than just an orphan; he's a boy touched by magic. But not everyone sees his gift as a blessing. His caretakers refuse to acknowledge his skills. All Ramses wants to do is draw but they stop him at every turn. Ramses's chance at freedom comes in the form of a high-stakes competition. The winner will get to join the ranks of artists who are painting Pharaoh King Tut's tomb. Success could rewrite his destiny. And so he begins his journey to win the place where he truly belongs.

"roller-coaster of a journey"

Dating back to around 1539-1075 BCE, the Place of Truth was a unique village in ancient Egypt. It was home to the artists and craftsmen responsible for constructing and adorning the tombs in the Valley of the Kings, the burial sites of the pharaohs. This village was dedicated to the art of creating eternal dwellings for the kings, weaving tales of their reigns and the gods through their intricate work.

For parents seeking an engaging read for their curious kids, this book explores Egypt's skilled artisans who crafted the pharaohs' tombs. It's a deep dive into the lives of those who worked behind the scenes, set against the backdrop of the Valley of the Kings, famous pharaohs, hieroglyphics, and ancient mythology. Perfect for young minds eager to uncover the secrets of the past, this story blends adventure with a rich historical setting, offering a glimpse into the daily lives of ancient Egypt's unsung heroes.
