Need help remembering two YA titles

1) A familly from the wrong side of the tracks take all the roles in a Christmas pageant, much to the dismay of everyone else.

2) The second is time-travel, ancient Egypt to the present (I think). There's an Egyptian prince who discovers that his elder twin brother is in fact his younger brother, and that the boy is or will become pharaoh. Anyone know this?

Hey Kasthu, I was just looking at The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson today, and it sounds like it just might be what you're looking for! It involves a ragtag bunch of fatherless delinquents who barge in and take over the local church production of the Christmas story.

I'm stumped as to the Egyptian one, though. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Number two sounds like The Reluctant God.

Those are it! Thanks!
