A masterful tale

A wonderful story of a brave young boy, who takes charge and changes his life for the better. It is a masterful tale woven by McGraw.

Beautifully Written

We enjoyed this story very much. The author created characters we cared for and left us on the edge of our seats many times as the story progressed. Her descriptions of ancient Egypt were beautiful and compelling. At first we didn't care for how this was read but we got used to the narrator's voice and cadence the more we listened and then enjoyed it.

Great historical fiction my kids of all ages enjoy

We've listened to this story 3 times and enjoyed it every time! An inspiring story about courage, resolve and bravery, with a window into life in ancient Egypt.

Suspense in Ancient Egypt -- Fun and Eudcational

What did you love best about The Golden Goblet?

My 10 year old reluctant reader son loved this book. I thought the narrator was great and I was happy to listen along. My son was disappointed it wasn't part of a series. The added plus was that it was educational and got him excited about Ancient Egypt.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Golden Goblet?

There are many exciting moments -- enough that it was too absorbing to listen to at bedtime.

What does Charles Carroll bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Excellent narrator for both children and adults to listen to. There are unfamiliar names and places in the book, due to its setting in Ancient Egypt, and I could imagine my son being frustrated with that if he had to read it without benefit of the audio. As it was, the names were handled so naturally it wasn't a barrier.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It was a very uplifting book by the end.
