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.

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.
