Editorial Reviews

ALAN Review
Part of the Scholastic "Royal Diaries" series, Cleopatra writes of the snake that nearly killed her father, sending him into hiding. Her sister has taken over the throne of Egypt and Cleopatra now also fears for her own life. With the help of friends, Cleopatra travels with her father to Rome, seeking help reclaiming the throne. When she meets Caesar, Cicero, and Marc Antony, Cleopatra's gift for foreign languages and her growing diplomatic skills come in handy. Two years later, when Cleopatra and her father return to Egypt, she is a young woman--prepared to rule Egypt more effectively than her father or her sisters. The writing is lively. Vivid description allows the reader to smell the streets of Rome, feel Cleopatra's homesickness, and be inspired by her indomitable strength. Unlike a real diary, historical details are explained--though without slowing the story. Historical notes, photographs, and a family tree provide further details. Genre: Historical Fiction. 1999, Scholastic, Ages 9 to 12, $10.95. Reviewer: Lisa A Wroble
Children's Literature
It is 57 BC and Cleopatra, the twelve-year-old Egyptian princess, is terrified. Her father, King Ptolemy Auletes, was forced into hiding after a deadly snake meant for him bit a servant instead. Taking her cue from ancient Queens Sheba, Esther, and Nefertiti, Cleopatra vows to act in a manner befitting a future ruler of Egypt. Cleopatra's diary is an engrossing account of her escape by boat to Rome, where she and her father must plead for help; her culture shock as she learns the ways of a "barbarian" civilization; her diplomatic skills as she meets General Pompey, Marc Antony, and Cicero; and her tumultuous return to Egypt, where her evil older sister has seized power. Rich details of food, housing, climate, and culture bring the reader the heart of ancient Egypt and Rome. An epilogue briefly describes Cleopatra's liaison with Julius Caesar, Caesar's assassination, Cleopatra's marriage to Antony, and their deaths. A helpful section with historical notes, maps, portraits, a family tree, and illustrations provides the perfect context for the amazing story. The book is part of the "Royal Diaries" series, created by the editors of the "Dear America" series.

Kirkus Reviews
Through compelling journal entries, this entry in The Royal Diaries series takes readers back to a time in ancient Egypt when Cleopatra was a 12-year-old princess, traveling to Rome to meet the likes of Caesar, Cicero, and Marc Antony for the first time. Gregory imagines how the intelligent, literate princess might record events both large and small, proposing that even at such a young age, Cleopatra struggled to learn diplomacy. The attention to detail draws readers headlong into ancient Egypt, describing with immediacy and vigor the spices, views, tastes, and smells that a young Cleopatra may have encountered. An epilogue, family tree, historical notes, and numerous black-and-white illustrations fill in the rest of her story. (Fiction. 8-12)
