Charlie Thorne and the Curse of Cleopatra by Stuart Gibbs
4.0
We LOVE a smart teen protagonist, especially when it's a girl! Charlie Thorne does NOT disappoint in her latest discovery - a clue of Cleopatra's that explains where her wealth really came from. The story is twisty and turny, takes place across the globe (including the Met and the pyramids!) and includes sailing and private jets. Charlie hacks and solves. Overall, quite the adventure.
As a plus, you learn SO much more about who Cleopatra really was. Some tidbits that I learned for myself (that maybe I should have known but didn't)? Cleopatra was actually Greek and her family basically bought themselves the kingdom of Egypt. Shout out to Charlie for being the greatest teacher of history a teacher could ask for.
