Recommended for junior history buffs in the late primary years and also as a light read for those in the first years at secondary school.
My thanks to the publisher, Bloomsbury, for sending the book. We also have a review of Harvey's [[Spitting Cobra: The Egyptian Chronicles by Gill Harvey|Spitting Cobra: The Egyptian Chronicl]].
The obvious connection is to Caroline Lawrence's [[Roman Mysteries series]] but ''Orphan of the Sun'' is better realised, despite Lawrence's popularity. Children who enjoy historical fiction should also look at Michelle Paver's [[Chronicles of Ancient Darkness]] or Jackie French's [[Slave Girl]]. Teens will enjoy [[The Winner's Curse (The Winner's Trilogy) by Marie Rutkoski]].
