If you do a faces of history project at school and choose Cleopatra VII, you really need to add this book to your bibliography! This book is filled with great historical facts about Cleopatra and some not so know facts about her and her life as a young pharaoh. The book is written as an autobiography and is written as if she is talking to you. Sometimes is does feel like she is talking to you. She talks about her teenage years. Sibling rivalry and jealousy couple with her Father's undying love towards her stems some of the most outrageous dialogues in this book. Out of the 5 books I used for my project, this is my favorite. A great read.

It is the first century B.C. Cleopatra, the third of the pharaoh's six children, is the one that her father has chosen to be the next queen of Egypt. But when King Ptolemy is forced into exile, Cleopatra is left alone to fend for herself in a palace rife with intrigue and murder. Smart, courageous, ambitious and sensuously beautiful, she possesses the charm to cause two of history's most famous leaders to fall in love with her. But as her cruel sisters plot to steal the throne, Cleopatra realizes there is only one person on whom she can rely--herself.
