Horrible
Histories: Awesome Egyptians by Terry Deary
is the perfect reading material for a
reluctant reader. It's as if your child's favorite (and slightly
demented) uncle or aunt decided to tell the real and gross and gory
details of ancient Egypt. In other words, historians (and some parents)
may cringe (though the facts are accurate), but kids will eat this up
and may well want to read something more substantial.
