This biography combines descriptive and interesting text with illustrations and photographs of Egyptian relics, treasures and land.  Hatshepsut, the first female Pharaoh, is a fascinating figure of ancient Egyptian history and is well-depicted in this book.  Boys as well as girls will enjoy this book, an observation proven when my 12 year-old son saw it on my reading table and devoured the book in minutes.  Providing plenty of information for curious students as well as those writing a report, I expect this book to circulate well.  I did not find an Accelerated Reader test to date but perhaps that will be created later.  The other books in this series include:  Artemisia of Caria, Sorghaghtani of Mongolia, Qutlugh Terkan Khatun of Kirman, Isabella of Castile, and Nur Jahan of India.
