OK, so my daughter has a non-fiction unit in her English studies at school. She had to pick a non-fiction book at the library, and this is what she chose: How They Croaked: The Awful Ends of the Awfully Famous. We’re reading it together, and so far we’ve learned the cause of death of King Tut, what Julius Caesar’s autopsy revealed, and what delivered poison into Cleopatra’s body (spoiler: Shakespeare was wrong — yes, we went and found the lines in his play about her death). I love the book myself, but the book reports in her notebook are a bit bloody.
