I would recommend this book to high school level readers. It's interesting, although not a quick read. The story revolves around a boy named Ranofer who becomes involved in a theft, specifically the theft of an Egyptian royal tomb committed by his half-brother Gebu.

While searching for pictures to review the cover, I saw someone had reviewed The Golden Goblet Cup, saying that it was terrible and that the plot took too long. Be interesting. I think many people today are unable to persist in certain things, such as reading certain literary genres. But critics loved McGraw's novel, and it won a Newbery Honor Award. I was asked to read it in a high school literature class a few years ago, but I mostly enjoyed it. When they were asked, all my friends admitted they liked it too.

The Golden Goblet is a book written by Eloise Jarvis McGraw; it concerns an Egyptian boy named Ranofer, whose world is turned upside down after his father dies. Ranofer is kept in the custody of his half-brother Gebu, whom he increasingly dislikes due to Gebu's constant abuse of him. Ranofer discovers that Gebu is stealing gold and must find his courage. This is a great story about a child whose long-rejected dream finally comes true after a lot of pain. It's also a story about developing and strengthening friendships.
