We've continued to be enjoying historical fiction read-alouds around here. As we are studying ancient history this year, we read the book, The Golden Goblet. It takes place in Thebes (Egypt) and chronicles the life of a young boy, Ranofer, under the care of his evil half brother. The half-brother cares only for himself and uses Ranofer to further his ambitions while treating him very poorly. We then see twists and turns as secret plots are uncovered and Ranofer is challenged to figure out the best choices to make. The storyline is pretty decent and it does a good job at weaving in Egyptian life. We all enjoyed it around here.
Last week at Goodwill (Salvation Army, really), I came across this fun Chinese dress for Hannah
