Berenice the second daughter of Ptolemy XII, took control and ruled from 57 B.C. To 55 B.C., When her father ordered her execution. Cleopatra had to marry her brother (when he was 10 😦) and became queen at 18 (when he died and was freed to rule jointly with her 3 year old son by Caesar, Ptolemy XV Caesar, called Casarion. ) and ruled for 21 years. No one really knows exactly what Cleopatra looked like, but they do know that she was one of the most influential women in history because of alliances with Julius Caesar and Marc Antony. She died young, at the age of 39 after she poisoned herself with a snake bite sometime after her husband killed himself thinking that she had died in war. Her death marked the beginning of Roman Rule in Egypt, which would last another several hundred years. This was a very interesting book recommended for 11+ thanks for reading - Ajg16's reviews

In Creep by Eireann Corrigan, the protagonist Olivia Danvers becomes friends with Jaine Donahue who just moved into Sixteen Olcott Place with her mom, dad and siblings. Most of the book takes place at Sixteen Olcott Place. The Donahues just moved into the neighborhood and started to get these creepy letters sent to their house from someone who called themselves the Sentry of Glennon Heights. Olivia becomes Jaine Donahue's best friend and tries to help the Donahues figure out who the Sentry of Glennon Heights is. A big aha moment is when Olivia and Janie go to Miss Abbot’s house. Miss Abbot invites them in and Janie ends up asking Miss Abbot if she has seen anyone taking an unusual interest in her home. Miss Abbot asks if she's talking about the Sentry. Olivia and Janie realize that Miss Abbot knows a lot more than they thought she did. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes trying to solve mysteries.
