Product Description
This Royal Diary introduces young readers to the early years of Cleopatra's life. The diary is filled with intrigue and royal power plays. A deadly poisonous serpent is placed in the bed of Cleopatra's father. Skulls and death threats arrive to terrify the young princess. Cleopatra's sisters are strangled or beheaded as they try to wrestle royal position from their weak father. While this all plays out, Cleopatra observes, studies, aids her father, and plans for the day she will be queen. Through her fictional diary walk Marc Antony and Cicero. Julius Caesar, Spartacus, and ancient royal leaders from Nefertiti to Sheba all help to vividly recreate a time Gregory calls "a pivotal period in history." Readers of Cleopatra: Daughter of the Nile will meet a bright, determined, young lady who would never be content to just wear beautiful clothes and jewels and spend her days floating down the river on a fancy boat.
