Chronicle Supposing Books The Golden Goblet

I really liked this book when I was 11, and I really liked this book twenty-one years later. Somehow Eloise Jarvis McGraw makes Ranofer, the main character, easily relatable without turning him into a kid that thinks, talks and acts like a twentieth century American kid who happens to be living in ancient Egypt. To me, that's one of the most annoying things about historical fiction: the author tries to make the main characters more likable by making them just like us, no matter what century or continent they lived in.

I especially respect the level of writing here. This is a pretty advanced children's book, with detailed descriptions of Egyptian life (especially goldsmithing and stonemasonry). The vocabulary and pacing is challenging, too. The mystery that Ranofer and his friends try to solve is a rather grueling process, one that some people will call boring but I call deliberate. This is clearly a well-researched, engaging and intelligent novel.

Criticism Appertaining To Books The Golden Goblet

This book was suggested reading for my childrens history class. So we began. No library had it in stock so I purchased the audiobook rather than wait a month. There are some things I can wait for - assigned reading is not one of them.The book began slowly and we all felt dumped into the middle of a world where we couldnt get our bearings. Who were we taking about and what about all these names, dropped as if we should know them? And then within a few chapters, it just clicked, my daughter said.

This book is great if you are learning about ancient Egypt. It shows the life of Ranofer, young boy, living a difficult life with his wicked half-brother Gebu. Persevering and hopeful, Ranofer learns to survive in the hands of evil Gebu. To be honest, the book is not very exciting in the beginning, but the end the book is a page turner. I couldn't stop reading!

I loved this book! I found it very interesting, it started out slow, but you have to give books time! Mrs, Bushkin, my English teacher, recommended this book to our class. The Golden Goblet started to get more and more interesting as I read on. The main characters in this book fitted their roles perfectly, Ranofer, one of the protagonists, was brave, determined, and kind. On the other hand, Gebu, the main antagonist, was very nasty! He was everything you would expect a villain to be, nasty.



This book is set in Thebes in around 1400 BC, right during the reign of the Ancient Egyptians. It goes in-depth into the daily life of the craftspeople and artisans of Ancient Egypt through Ranofers experiences as a porter at the goldsmith shop and as an apprentice at the stonecutting shop. Ranofer also makes observations about the daily life of the Egyptians, from the importance of the Nile to the harvest of papyrus to the food they eat. It also does a good job of realistically integrating the

HAHA ! I think I'm cheating a bit when I let myself click 'read'.You see, this book was assigned in my 7th grade history class to read outside of school. No one read it. Okay, a few select people did... (cough*nerds*cough) but I went to a fancy goody two shoes type of middle school... so it was kind of a big deal. Everyone was just like... this book is so boring, I would rather skim over some of it & take the D.The day of the test came around, and some kids had stayed up all night, reading
