This retelling of the Isis and Osiris myth opens with a “Cast of Characters,” “Words to Know,” and a page that introduces enough backstory so readers can jump right into the action. The accessible text draws youngsters into an exciting tale of betrayal, love, and revenge. Vibrant illustrations (which were created with watercolor, gouache, acrylics, and digitally) and the visually compelling design complement the dramatic plot. A reading list and Web link to publisher-vetted Web sites are included.
