i love this book because its funny and it makes you want to read more!! ( )

This is the story of Asha who, at thirteen years of age, is daughter of one pharaoh, wife of a second and in a few months is destined to become the most powerful woman in Ancient Egypt. An enjoyable little read about courage and friendship. ( )

This entire series is a wonderful way to learn history or teach it to adolescents. I find today's generations seem to recall more when they learn through other people (pop songs, celebrity gossip, etc.), so what better way to teach history than through someone else's perspective? Yes, "authentic" diaries would be "better", but would the language really hold the modern student's attention? Did the diary writer know what WOULD be important in the context of history? Probably not. ( )
