What do you see when you look in the mirror? For schoolgirls Vida and Sammi, it is a very special mirror with a very different reflection, for they can see life in Ancient Egypt. So who are Little Star and Ineri, and what is the significance of the two identical gold bracelets? More to the point for Vida and Sammi, what on earth does their math teacher have to do with it all?
From the Author
I've had a long-standing interest in ancient Egypt, and so really enjoyed doing research for Star's Reflection: from books, museums, and a visit to Egypt.
The novel is set in a temple dedicated to Het Heru. This is a possible name that was used in ancient Egypt, meaning 'House of Heru.' She is more commonly known by the Greek name, Hathor, but I chose to use the more ancient name for a more authentic feel. I also used the name the Black Land when referring to ancient Egypt within the novel - a translation of the name that the ancients would have used for their land.
The time period is the early part of the reign of Ramesses II. His first and favorite wife, Nefertari visits the temple in the story. Ramesses and Nefertari married when he was 15, and she 13.
