Cleoprankster

Shortly before she ever became queen of all Egypt, Kleopatra was a middle-grader, and you know what? Nothing is known of what she got up to during that period of her life!

Maybe the stories in here are true.

Who was it who prevented her father building a new pyramid - the first in Egypt in a thousand years - by sabotaging the foundation? Who was it who put Nile Perch into the canopic jars in place of the organs of the deceased? Whatever happened to the effigy of Poseidon in the temple? And what exactly was it that prevented the marriage of Ptolemy the Twelfth to the daughter of the mighty Pompey of Rome?

Maybe these stories are true, maybe they’re not, but you’ll have fun reading them and you’ll learn a lot about ancient Egypt in the process. Maybe you’ll even like Cleopatra by the end of it, but I’m not promising anything!
