Describes the life of Egypt's famous queen, and the tumultuous politics that marked her reign.

Grade 6-9–This biography contains a wealth of detail not only regarding the Egyptian queen and her Roman lovers, but also about her land and times. Unfortunately, though, the book is poorly written, resulting in awkwardness, choppiness, and repetition. The two maps are inadequate and omit many crucial places discussed in the text. There are also misspellings, internal inconsistencies, and minor errors. The other biographies of Cleopatra for this audience are not without flaws. Polly Shoyer Brookss Cleopatra (HarperCollins, 1995) is engaging and well written but suffers from fictionalizing. Tom Streissguths Queen Cleopatra (Lerner, 2000) is a quick, smooth read and covers the basics, but lacks Worths thoroughness. Black-and-white photos and reproductions are included.–Ann W. Moore, Schenectady County Public Library, NY
