Reigning Cats and Frogs Paperback

• Details

  It’s 15th century BC, the Biblical Exodus period. Cats, frogs, and other animal gods reign in Egypt, and power is everything.
  Thirteen-year-old Kafele, an Egyptian boy, is fortunate that his mother is a priestess for the cat goddess Bastet.
  But when Kafele asks a powerful priest a question, his mother is forced to give the priest her amulets, which—it seems—had kept the family safe. With the amulets gone, Kafele feels that everyone is against him, from family and friends to the gods themselves.
  But there are things that don’t make sense to Kafele—that cheeky slave boy with rags covering his ribs—why does he smile when his position in the power chain is so low? Why do the plagues occur only in Kafele’s city and not the slave city? And who is the returned prince that thwarts The Pharaoh without consequence?
  As new plagues continue to befall the Egyptians, Kafele scrambles to unravel the myths and stories and tap into the true source of power before it’s too late.
  “Captivating and compelling! In this fascinating novel, experience the biblical account of the ten plagues that took Egypt from glory to ruin. Valerie Diefenbacher’s artistic and intriguing writing style will have you turning pages to the very end!” —Carolyn Lichty, former educator
