A wonderful tale! Ranofer, a young Egyptian boy, is literally held captive by his step-brother Gebu, and is working in a goldsmith's shop doing the dirtiest work. But he suspects a fellow worker to be doing some undercover heisting, and then he makes an even worse discovery... In the ensuing dramatic chapters, his friends, Heqet and Ancient, help him in solving a dangerous, fast-paced mystery. McGraw keeps you dangling in suspense and tells everything in her unique style- an expert story-crafter, this book is historical and makes excellent learning material!
