Review by Booklist Review

Each book in the You Choose: Historical Eras series begins with an overview of the time period to be covered. Over the next two or three chapters, readers make choices in roles such as an Egyptian tomb painter, Greek philosopher, wealthy Roman woman, or medieval knight. One of the most exciting paths in Ancient Egypt is an account of Marc Antony's naval battle with the Romans. Full-color illustrations and photos appear throughout, and back matter includes an index, bibliography, and glossary, as well as suggestions for additional reading. A page of discussion and research questions further extend the topics. The interactive format and suspenseful scenarios will hit the mark with middle-graders and especially reluctant readers.--Aronin, Miriam Copyright 2010 Booklist
