Pharaoh - the boy who conquered the Nile, by Jackie French.
The book is set long before the pyramids were built. In fact the Pharaoh of the title actually ruled before the first Egyptian dynasty. Wikipedia referrs to Narmer as pharaoh, successor to the Scorpion King. And in keeping with Jackie French’s recent writings this story begins with Narmer as a boy approaching adolescence.See the above page for more.

Based on the true story of Narmer???????!!!!!! The vivid imagination of this writer is too much even for a keen state formationist like myself. The tale of Narmer being attacked atShedat in the Faiyum is a much later mythical account of the foundations of this city and there is no evidence that Narmer was in fact a cripple. Anyway, can you contact Jo and I as we have been mailing you but with no reply, and there is a much better adventure awaiting you. Tass
