Andy Shane and the Queen of Egypt was written by Jennifer Richard Jacobson and illustrated by Abby Carter. The book was a children's chapter book. It was realistic fiction. The theme of the book is teamwork. The main character was Andy and the secondary character was Delores. This book was published in 2008 by Powell. It has not received any awards.The book was about a boy named Andy who wanted the country of Egypt for his project. However, Delores also wanted Egypt. The book talks about how Delores tries to be very helpful and always hint to Andy how the two of them could work together on the project. At first Andy is resistant. But once he is asked to stand in front of the class to describe what his project will be, he decides that Delores is very helpful and that they would be a great team.
I would use this book with higher elementary students. Its a fast reading book. I think students would really enjoy just having this as part of the class library. Through this book students could learn how sometimes working with people you really don't want to work with can turn out to be really great! This book would be good for older elementary students because it is easy for this age to relate to this book as they are the age of really starting group projects and presentations.
