Pharaoh’s Curse is mystery with depth and action, two strong characters – and an ancient female pharaoh! Suitable for readers from 9-12.
The novel was very well received by the critic’s: ”Told in a visual style … Easy to picture as a movie. ..Well-written with accurate and original metaphors.”
”A lot of historical knowledge, a few supernatural touches, a feministic twist and a lot of thrilling tension.”
”There might be many crime mysteries from Egypt, but Eldrid Johansen is able to do something new with the material by using the story of the female pharaoh and her power.”
