Reseñas de la Crítica

"Characters are well drawn, Cleopatra's relationships with others are realistically portrayed, and historical background is well integrated into the text. This is an enjoyable story." (School Library Journal)

Young Cleopatra

I had to research many books to understand Cleopatra as she is a character in my next book. This book introduced me to a young Cleopatra which really helped me understand why she was the way she was. I am sending one of my characters back in time to meet Cleopatra. Thank you for helping me to understand this powerful young lady and the company she kept.

Great book!

Even though this is a fictional diary of cleopatra, it sounds like it actually could be the real thing. The caracters and the historical value is well developed in the book. I really enjoyed it.

I Could See the Story in My Mind's Eye

The Narrator is a perfect match for this book. The tonal quality of the reading was very pleasant, and the storytelling very engaging. I could see the the characters as described by a young Cleopatra who was growing into her eventual role as Queen of Egypt. The events she witnesses shape her, perhaps playing a role in how she will rule over the people of Egypt. The details regarding the supposed personalities of her family, retinue, and political rivals felt true and convincing.

very good!

My children and I have really enjoyed listening to this story! I liked how all of the other historical characters are woven into the story.

Still a pleaser

I originally read this book as a teenager and oh, how I revered Cleopatra.

I found it my old physical copy recently and decided to search for it on audible. I absolutely loved listening to Josephine Bailey’s voice and found myself craving more when it ended. 3 hours slipped by in no time.

love it

great book lived listening to it. love love love it. can't wait to listen to another one

Ancient Civilizations: Egypt

I liked it, cute story , clean readaloud for ancient civilizations unit study. Wouldn’t hesitate as a Cristian to read it

I was a teenage Cleopatra

I was not able to finish listening to this one. the narrator's voice was annoying and hard to understand. I doubt the real Cleopatra would have accomplished as much as she did if she had whined like this. She was also supposed to have had a musical voice--not like this narrator.
