The Scarab's Secret

Would, Nick. The Scarab's Secret. Illustrated by Christine Balit. Walker: 2006. ISBN: 0-8027-9561-7 Ages 5 and up.

The Scarab's Secret is a story about a beetle being found by a prince and later saving his life. The pictures really relate to the Egyptian art and follow the storyline very well. The author really aimed this at younger ages. Overall it was a very good short story for some Egyptian history on how the Scarab was scared and how even a beetle can make a difference.
