Donna Jo Napoli
Kepi is a young girl in ancient Egypt, content to stay home with her family, helping her father, who was wounded in the construction of a pyramid for the cruel pharaoh Khufu. But that was before she and her pet baboon, Babu, were kidnapped and held captive on a boat bound for the capital city, Ineb Hedj. And when Kepi and Babu are separated, she knows she has only one choice: to make her way to the capital on her own, rescue Babu, and find a way to appeal to the pharaoh. Khufu is rich and powerful, but Kepi has her own powers, deep inside herâ€”ones she herself doesnâ€™t even know about yet.,Donna Jo Napoli, acclaimed author of ,Zel, and ,Beast,, revisits the fabled origin of fairies in this strikingly orig-inal and affecting novel of friendship.
