This story takes place in mostly Egypt and Rome. The story starts out in her palace in Egypt, then when her father is being hunted by the town’s people and must run, Rome. The problems she faces are that she is next in line for the throne, her pet leopard is missing, the town’s people are also trying to kill her, her sisters keep taking the throne while Cleopatra and her drunk of a father are in hiding, she needs to make allies with Rome, and she can’t even trust her own slaves or sisters, (who are also trying to poison her). She solves all those problems by going into Egyptian towns and villages to see and hear what they say about her, then changing what she was doing to make it to their liking, while she is Rome, having all her slaves and most of her sister’s slaves look for her leopard, she runs away to Rome to hide from the villagers that are trying to kill her, her father sends his guards to go and send the sisters into exile, while she is in Rome, she speaks Latin and is very friendly and courteous to the Roman leaders, and she gets her own drinks and food so no one can poison her.
I selected this book by reading the back and it looked very interesting. It talks about her sister wanting to poison her. This author would make a great social studies teacher because she knows a lot about ancient Egyptians. In ten words I would describe this book as a book that had a lot of interesting Egyptian facts.
