I read this book aloud to my boys as part of our history curriculum. We enjoyed this exciting book!
Ranofer's father, a goldsmith, has died and now Ranofer lives with his half brother Gebu who is a stone mason. Gebu is harsh, beating him when he is displeased and providing minimal food for Ranofer. Eventually Gebu forces Ranofer to work for him, spending the day completing difficult, mindless tasks at the stone cutter shop.
Then Gebu begins to act suspiciously. Ranofer and his friends, Heqet and the Ancient, investigate and find themselves in a very dangerous situation. Will anyone believe their discovery?
*Highly recommend.
-We own this book.
Guided Reading Level: V (5th grade)
Warning: Gebu physically abuses Ranofer.
