Review # 2 was written on 2019-05-30 00:00:00 Chris Cordova 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.
