What is an example of Ranofer's bravery that sticks out to you most?
Julia (11): "He had to stick up to his cruel half-brother.”
Gabe (9): He went in to the tomb where there were dead bodies and it was creepy."
Evy (6): "He went out at night and there was a scary cat. He thought maybe it was a goblin. But he was brave and didn't just run home."
Mom's Notes: This book was recommended reading to go with our history unit on Ancient Egypt. Even though the book was definitely slow going for a while, the ties to what we were learning in our history lessons kept the content relevant and interesting. Plus, these kids just seem to beg for another chapter no matter what the book! Ranofer's story was definitely one to sympathize with, and we were rooting for his many daydreams to come true. When the queen says she'll grant his any wish, and he asks for a donkey, I may have choked up a bit!
