If you want a taste of what life was like in ancient Egypt, this book is the best! Ranofer's greatest dream, to be a goldsmith creating treasures for the nobility and Pharaoh himself, is far from reality as he struggles for daily bread while living in the home of his evil uncle. This fast-action book is thrilling, plus informative of life in Egypt. A "can't-put-it-down" read with a great plot! Newbery Honor book. Paperback, 248 pages, for ages 11 and up. Highly recommended!
