Cleopatra: The Girl Who Would Be King
Forget what you know about Cleopatra, the Egyptian queen with a fantastic hairstyle. That’s only part of the story. Before she was a ruler, Cleopatra was a girl with a fierce ambition.
When twelve-year-old Cleopatra and her father, Pharaoh Ptolemy XII, flee to ancient Rome in 59 BCE after Cleopatra’s sister seizes the throne, they are in serious trouble. It’s up to Cleopatra to raise enough gold to hire an army, gain the support of powerful allies, and take back her country’s land.
This is the story of how that year in ancient Rome might have changed Cleopatra’s life, with daring escapes, crocodiles, pirates, shipwreck and encountering the intrepid Captain Fileas and Myra, the slave determined to be free.
