Earth's ancient secrets are revealed when the present merges with the prehistoric past. "Where The Nile Meets the Sea" is a fictional adventure about an exhilarating prehistoric journey along the mighty Nile River by two coming-of-age siblings, Geb and Lunah. Set in the Late Stone Age, they seek to find Ari--their missing friend--and fulfill their father's dream to reach lands beneath a mysterious star that never moves. With every river bend, the siblings' experiences and decisions can change the course of their destiny. The story begins in the modern era with Ben, a university student who embarks on an international flight to Cairo to research the mysterious origin of the Great Sphinx of Giza. His curiosity about the world comes from stories told to him by his beloved grandma during his youth. The novel's fantastical imagining of the Great Giza Sphinx's origin is unveiled in a story-ending, circle-of-life twist."Gunjaric's writing impresses with rich details, memorable scenes, and the symbolism she gives to natural elements, such as the North Star, a guiding landmark for the main characters. The novel offers an escape into a forgotten world, inviting us to reflect upon the connection between all humans and universal values that transcend time and space." --The Historical Fiction Company "This deftly crafted, prehistoric, and impressively original fantasy is a fun read from start to finish. The story of Geb and Lunah's battle for survival will especially appeal to young readers ages 8-18 and is an especially recommended pick for families, K-12 schools, and community/public library YA Fiction collections." --Midwest Book Review
