Grumpy Monkey
By Suzanne Lang
I did not really like this book. I only read it because the title sounded fun and it was on a summer reading list. It's about a monkey who is very grumpy. Everyone thinks he's grumpy but he says, "I'M NOT GRUMPY!" It ends with his friend being grumpy because he danced with a porcupine and got spikes on him. So they are both grumpy.

Cleopatra Confesses
By Carolyn Meyer
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.
