The Golden Goblet

By Eloise Jarvis McGraw
Level 7
Review:

Ranofer, an orphaned boy and goldsmith’s apprentice in the ancient Egyptian city of Thebes, has discovered a thief. But not just any thief—someone he knows well. His discovery leads him on a suspenseful journey to thwart the evil plans of the thief. Readers are left with not only greater knowledge about ancient Egypt but also with messages about working through trials, friendship, hard work, and courage. I especially love the wonderful ending.
