Cleopatra Rules!: The Amazing Life of the Original Teen Queen

Cleopatra Rules!: The Amazing Life of the Original Teen Queen - Vicky Alvear Shecter I will come clean here and say that I know the author and I sell her books. Regardless, I recommend this as a wonderful introduction to an ancient personality that really brings history alive and relevant for middle grade readers. Vicky's experience with kids of all ages, helps her make Cleopatra fascinating to today's kids, and delivers interesting perspectives that are echoed in even contemporary interpretations of Cleopatra's life in recently published adult biographies.
