I have heard so much good about this book. Yes, it was meant for younger readers, and I knew that going in. However, I find books meant for younger readers often to be a way to unwind in the evening. They are less challenging (most of the time) to my brain and often very good.

Biblical fiction can be difficult. After all, it is a balance not to have so much fiction that you forget what the Bible says, nor so much Bible you might as well have just read that instead of the fiction book. Auer nailed the balance in this book. She stuck to the biblical account while adding a personal feeling to the story.

Historically, she also did a great job as far as I could tell. I am not an expert, but from everything I have studied about Egypt and the Israelites, the history was spot on. The little details of daily life made the story feel alive and will help readers get a clear picture.

There were a couple of things that diminished my enjoyment of the book. First, the large cast of characters with many with similar names was a challenge even for me. I can see this being even harder for young children. Secondly, it was obviously written for much younger readers.

I think that my favorite part was the family dynamics. Each member of the family was very different and had their own struggles. Much of the book was spent dealing with family issues in a godly way.

I highly recommend this book for younger readers who enjoy biblical fiction, good stories, and solid faith messages.

Great book! Hope Auer has written an engaging, uplifting, and all around wonderful account of the time of the Exodus in ancient Egypt. The story is Biblically sound, and was so well written, my (then) 10 year old daughter could not put it down, and finished it in a matter of hours! A Cry From Egypt is listed as a read-aloud in quite a few homeschool curricula now, but let me warn you, that wouldn't work in our family. The kids would snatch it up and read it on their own, and wouldn't give me the

This book was excellent, it deserves five stars in many cases, but since I'm going for personal liking, a real identification with the story (my goodreads standards :) ) just four stars, because it's written for younger audiences. But this is still really meaningful! A Cry from Egypt is positive in every way. The characters are relatable; they each have their good points and their flaws, but good traits and bad traits are always defined. It gives a realistic-feeling insider's look at the plagues

Wow!! I read this book to my early elementary aged children as part of our homeschooling study about early world history. Boy, am I glad I did!! This author simply did an amazing job portaging history and making the reader understand the reality of what the Hebrews went through during this time. It made me understand the time period and the Bible passages about this time period became more vivid and alive. My kids thoroughly enjoyed this book and it kept us all in the edge of our seats as they

A Cry From Egypt features a clever plot written by an young and inexperienced writer. I find myself hoping that Ms. Auer will return to the subject material in a few years to revise it, much as Jane Austen polished her juvenilia into classic English literature. The story opens with several scenes of brutality in order to highlight the oppressive slavery of the Egyptians that the Israelities lived under for hundreds of years. Some of this material may be shocking or distressing for sensitive or

We loved this book! I read it aloud to my 12 year and 9 year old sons and they begged me keep reading every time. The author does such a great job of bringing the story to life. Biblically accurate (as much as historical fiction can be) and at the same time entertaining and educational. We can't wait until the next book in the series comes out!

I read this book to my three kiddos as a part of their homeschool curriculum. It is an imagination of what life would have been like for Egyptians and Hebrews during the time of the plagues and the Jewish exodus from Egypt as written in the Bible. The world building and interpersonal relationships between the characters that the author creates are incredible. As a reader, I came to know the main characters in the Hebrew family and really felt for them when an unfortunate event would befall them.

Gave it a 3.5 because it wasn't a book we just couldn't put down, but was enjoyed. (As a mother, I appreciated how the author seamlessly put in the gospel and showed the children discussing/questioning their belief in God.)
