I had freckles.
I had sandy hair. I was too short.
Would my feet even touch the ground if I sat on the throne?
These are the words of lady Jane Grey, as imagined by celebrated author Ann Rinaldi. Jane would become Queen of England for only nine days before being beheaded at the age of sixteen.
Here is a breathtaking story of English royalty with its pageantry, privilege, and surprising cruelty. As she did in her previous novel Mutiny's Daughter, Ms. Rinaldi uses powerful, evocative writing to bring to life a teenage girl caught in the grip of stirring times.
Ages 12+
Lady Jane Grey, who at sixteen was Queen of England for nine days before being executed, recounts her life story from the age of nine.

reviewed Nine Days a Queen: The Short Life and Reign of Lady Jane Grey on May 30, 2019 Nine Days a Queen: The Short Life and Reign of Lady Jane Grey
I wish I could give this more than 5 stars. I read this aloud to my daughters in just a few sittings because we were so engrossed. I have always been obsessed with Tudor history and already knew the story of Jane Grey pretty well so yo share it through this fantastic middle grade novel was purely delightful.
Rinaldi handled sensitive issues surrounding all the unfaithfulness in marriage pretty well. My 8 year old was a bit confused with all the flirting in a few scenes but Rinaldi only hinted at more. But this is something to be aware of. My older daughter is 12 and I'd say that's the better age for this dramatic book about a fascinating era of history.
We fell in love with Jane Grey and I'm sad for her death. Long live the Queen.
