Nefertiti, the Mystery Queen: The Mystery Queen

Score on for the girls! So many of the books suggested to supplement ancient history appeal to the boys. This one is different - your daughters will love it. My daughter, a reluctant reader, read this book cover to cover without the usual prodding. The story is told by Nefertiti herself! The author has cleverly written it as if Nefertiti was telling us the story in her own words. The book has several educational photographs sprinkled throughout to keep the reader engaged. Homeschoolers! Get your hands on a copy to flesh out your history lesson (MOH or Tapestry). This is an oldy but goody! You will probably have to buy this used. Worth every bit of effort it takes to track it down - it's a great read!

This book was great! My name is Paola, and I am in 6th grade. This month (January) my class had 3 weeks to do a report on any Egyptian Leader. I picked Nefertiti! I found this book, "Nefertiti; Mystery Queen", and it was the formula to all my sources! I needed to write my report in first-person point-of-view, and this book gave me the right idea on how I should write my report. The pictures in it also helped me think of props I could use for my report. This book is great, I recommend it! (Oh, by the way, my report is due this week! Can't wait for my grade!)
