Most high school students are busy with math and history—but Michael Hoffen took it a step further and learned ancient Egyptian! In this episode, we talk with the teen author of Be a Scribe!, a beautifully illustrated book that follows young Pepi’s journey to becoming a scribe. Michael shares how his passion for hieroglyphs began in middle school, why he chose to write this book, and what we can all learn from the scribes of ancient Egypt.
