She is a docent there, and am sure she's very popular. My writing path started and I postponed my docent duties, but when I finish my first novel THIRST (a shameless plug for my book) I will continue my docent journey.As Ms. Shecter did with her Alexander the Great book, she takes the facts of historical figures' existences and spins it in a way you will want to run to the next page.She is funny, factual, and wonderful and gives an exciting read as well as giving the reader a great history lesson.For kids of all ages -The Ptolemy family inherited Egypt in the big split after Alexander the Great died. They did as the pharoahs did, intermarried, keeping the bloodline of the Ptolemy family pure. Cleopatra VII was a good little Greek girl done good.She loved her heritage, spoke Greek, but wanted to learn about the history of Egypt and was one of the few Ptolemy family to learn how to speak the native language and hieroglyphics of her people. She was a book nerd, like me!How I longed since I was a child to have had the freedom to run through the Great Library of Alexandria!!!!! I wouldn't have come out - they would have to send me sandwiches and drinks!And the 40 or so story Lighthouse of Alexandria that was one of the Ancient Wonders of the World! What an amazing time to live!Ms. Shecter continues the amazing story of Cleopatra, her kith and kin and loves and children, and what happened after she died when she made an asp of herself.This is history for kids of all ages. I LOVE this book!!!There is only one tiny thing - and this is the copyeditor in me - across from the Table of Contents, the word 'review' is spelled 'reviwed the book of contents' for typos?? That was the only one I caught, but as writers, we all need to review the heck out of our work.I cannot complain because I use spellcheck to check my emails!!Well Done Vicky Schecter!Cleopatra is doing a dance in the Underworld that you did her proud.For all ages - more than a history book, funny, witty as well as informative.As a proud Greek lady, I salute you - more history books please!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Substantial, fun read *by K***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 19, 2020* I bought this for my 10 year old daughter. Her class is reading non-fiction and she asked for something about girls and fun. It’s safe to say she loved it, as she read it in it’s entirety within a day. The book has substance and was super fun. ### ⭐⭐ Not what we needed. *by A***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 9, 2018* My 6th grader has to do a biography report for school. One of the requirements on the book is that it has to have 150 pages. When it comes to kids biography books this isn't an easy task.This one is labelled as 176 pages so I jumped at it. I figured even with photos that still took it to the 150+ requirement.It came and it has 128 pages and that includes the glossary, sources, and definitions. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/3241066-cleopatra-rules-the-amazing-life-of-the-original-teen-queen](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/3241066-cleopatra-rules-the-amazing-life-of-the-original-teen-queen) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
