The Golden Goblet Paperback – 6 May 1986

This book is so good! I read it to my kids for homeschool and I loved it too. I feel like we made a book friend in the main character.

I’m homeschooled and this was a great book to read in our curriculum! If you homeschool your kids this book would work great as a read aloud and/or a silent read. This book has enough information that it feels enticing ,interesting and makes you want to read more. However, the author doesn’t put unnecessary information in or too extensive of a vocabulary that the book gets difficult or confusing. The author also gives a very vivid imagery to the story and really transports you to ancient Egypt! You can tell the author is very knowledgeable about this time and is very passionate about learning about it. Overall this book is a great read and not too hard, or easy but is just right.

My 10 year old son said:"I thoroughly enjoyed this book and could not put it down. It really helped my school topic of Egyptians come alive. There are lots of interesting characters and the older brother is plain evil. I would recommend this book for ages 8+."

A lovely living book. Some harder topics (an abusive guardian) but it provided a good oppourtunity to discuss such realities with our children. A fun way to learn about the culture and daily life of a trade boy in Ancient Egypt.

This is such an interesting book, perfect for a young person (upper elementary school) who is studying or just interested in ancient Egypt. Written from the perspective of a boy that age in that time period. In the class where i learned of this book, the kids were quite taken with the story, and i made a recording of it for some non-readers and i thoroughly enjoyed it myself! You can read a review to learn more about the actual story, but i do recommend.
