Short review: These are two short stories, about 50 pages total, looking at Jesus as a boy in Egypt. Jesus seems to be about 10-12 in the stories. The stories are fine. Interesting, but not anything particularly incredible. One is about Jesus and a local wealthy boy. The boy is not well liked and a bit cruel, but Jesus befriends him and they play. The boy returns Jesus' kindness by stealing from him.
The second story is about Jesus riding a camel in the desert and coming upon the Sphinx, who asks Jesus riddles.
