In which 13-year-old Princess Elizabeth is living with her brother and governess Kat. She soon learns that her father, King Henry VIII, has died and her younger brother Edward is now king! So she goes to live with Cathrine Parr, Henry's last wife, and is very happy. But then after ruling for 7 years Edward dies of illness and Mary becomes queen. Queen Mary imprisons Elizabeth in a run-down old shack that is wet, windy, and cold and takes Kat away! Poor Elizabeth! How will she get out of this mess and become queen?
This book takes you through Elizabeth's teenage years and into her 20s. I loved reading about what Elizabeth was doing for the years she was a teen. I feel bad for the torture she went through for 5 years of her life. She had vowed not to marry when she was young, which I think is AWESOME! She ruled for 45 years and that time period was called the Elizabethan age.
This book is in the Young Royals series.
Recommended for: people who like spunky girls like Elizabeth Tudor.
