32 pgs. This is a great series that is focused on famous women in world history. This one features a girl who was born to an Egyptian pharaoh and later rises to power in Egypyt. I learned a lot about her history and really enjoyed the book. The illustrations throughout are beautiful and help a reader better understand the material. Highly recommended for Grades 3-5.
