Publisher Description

A Newbery Honor winner!

Ranofer wants only one thing in the world: to be a master goldsmith like his beloved father was. But how can he when he is all but imprisoned by his evil half brother, Gebu? Ranofer knows the only way he can escape Gebu’s abuse is by changing his destiny. But can a poor boy with no skills survive on the cutthroat streets of ancient Thebes? Then Ranofer finds a priceless golden goblet in Gebu’s room and he knows his luck−and his destiny−are about to change.

"The kids and I read this together to accompany our history studies. It started off a little slow, but redeemed itself quickly. It is a heartwarming tale of heroism, true character, and strength through times of struggle. I loved the message of this book!"

— Cendy (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “We are given a most worthy hero in Ranofer, one who struggles with his own fears and ideals, who smarts under his own cowardice, but who finds the power to rise to his own strength…An excellent choice.”

    " I am currently in 7th grade, and this is very hard to read. I don't even understand all the words being spoken by Ranofer. And I only had to do the Audiobook because I kept falling asleep while reading the book. I do not think that it is a bad book, but I do understand that kids my age will not be as interested in the book as the parents forcing them to read it. I feel as if it is a good try to engage kids in older books with more difficult language but overall, it's kind of boring for a twelve-year-old to sit down and read a book that every time you don't understand a word you have to look it up. maybe for older people it's fun.

    " I think this book is cool because Ranofer finds a goblet and makes it into a golden object.Also Ranofer say that he stole the goblet. That is a mystery and that is why I like this book. "
