I was once addicted to Egyptian Mythology.......Ok Ok I still am. This middle grade book was so cute and fun!  Its a fast paced story about a little girl who finds a ring that once belonged to Cleopatra.  I so can't wait for the next in the series.  I did find out via the author that each book will have a different gem and I think that was so creative and fun!  I think also that if they would stick some history or etc in the back of each book about that particular stone that would make the book even better! This book also comes with Discussion Questions!   This one also wins our Beautiful Cover Award!
