Praise for the Newbery Honor book, The Golden Goblet
"Exceptionally vivid, swiftpaced, and stirring."--The Horn Book
"An exhilarating story of the arduous fulfillment of a boy's dream
. . . We are given a most worthy hero in Ranofer, one who struggles
with his own fears and ideals, who smarts under his own cowardice,
but who finds the power to rise to his own strength. This plus the
vividly detailed setting make the book an excellent
choice."--Kirkus Reviews
