Oops, I Kidnapped a Pharaoh!
Luan Goldie
- Reading
- Read it as comic historical fantasy, pausing when a real figure or period appears. Afterwards, follow the reader’s interests with a separate check of Tutankhamun, Marie Curie or another featured figure.
- Themes
- Friendship under change: Skylar worries that change and different K-pop preferences may affect her friendship with Dana. The friendship strand appears to treat uncertainty and disagreement as experiences the friends can work through, rather than as proof that the relationship has ended.
- Playful history and invention: The friends encounter Tutankhamun and several famous historical figures while trying to restore events to their proper place. History functions as an imaginative playground, with comic alterations and explanations of time-travel consequences rather than a consistently documentary presentation.
- Worth knowing
- The main points to notice are accidental abduction, separation from familiar adults, chaotic travel through history, a potentially radioactive guide, and worries about a best friend’s changing loyalties. These are presented within comedy rather than sustained grimness.
