The Golden Goblet

A young Egyptian orphan boy named Ranofer wants to be a master goldsmith just like his father. But Ranofer's evil half-brother, Gebu, apprentices him to a stonecutter's shop instead. Ranofer wonders where Gebu goes late in the night and where he gets his seemingly unearned wealth. When Ranofer finds a golden goblet among Gebu's things, the mystery and adventure begin. The goblet must have been stolen from one of the tombs in the City of the Dead!

The Golden Goblet is a great read-aloud for young children studying Egyptian history.
