Dizz Tate: Books That Made Me Want to Write: Dizz Tate’s Bookshelf for Brutes (0 comment)
When I was writing my book, Brutes, there came a point where I wanted to be thinking about it even when I was so tired of it I couldn’t bear to look at it anymore. I was also terrified of leaving it alone, like the book would forget me if I stopped reminding it I was there...

Publisher Comments

Gripping journal entries tell a tale of ancient Egypt and Rome, where you'll meet one of history's most famous women, witness the pharaoh's attempted murder, and encounter Marc Antony. Cleopatra's journal brings to life the sights, sounds, and smells of ancient civilizations, personalizing history and showing your child what it's like to grow up in the public eye.

The Book Report

January/February 2000

The Royal Diaries Series Gregory, Kristiana.

Cleopatra VII: Daughter of the Nile. 1999. 224pp. $10.95 pbk. Scholastic,

Inc. (Books Division). 0-590-81975-5. Grades 6-9

This title, the first of The Royal Diaries Series, is a spin-off from the Dear America Series. Gregory fictionalizes Cleopatra's diaries during the transitional period between her childhood and her becoming Queen of Egypt. Palace intrigue, political alliances, and dangerous ambition threaten the security of the Egyptian throne. King Ptolemy Autletes, Pharaoh of Egypt, is a drunk who has fallen in disfavor with his subjects. Their loyalty to him is no longer guaranteed, so he flees his own country. Forced to grow up too soon because of her father's weaknesses, Cleopatra has to take on more responsibility each day. She is the stable force in the family. Her descriptions of Alexandria, the dangerous journey across the sea, the city of Rome, and the beauty of Herculaneum bring alive these ancient civilizations. Although Cleopatra's diaries seem too adult in style for one so young, the book combines history and literature to create a fascinating, historically accurate narrative. The reader learns not only about Cleopatra but also about ancient Egypt and ancient Rome. Recommended. Susie Nightingale, Library Media Specialist, Santa Fe Trail Junior High School, Olathe, Kansas

My eleven year old daughter absolutely loves The Royal Diaries series. She likes seeing which historical fiction book I'm reading and trying to read about the same person. It's an excellent series for all ages because the stories are true, real and aren't filled with all that stuff you don't want your kids reading about.

Do you want to know more about the last queen of Egypt? If you answered Yes then you should read this book. This book tells the secret life of Cleopatra. Another great read
