In which young Princess Elizabeth, second daughter of the king Henry VIII, loves to be at court with her lovely governess Kat. But sadly her father hardly notices her, and her mother was beheaded when she was only two. With an older sister Mary who hates her, and younger brother Edward who is almost always sick, her best playmate is Robin Dudley and sometimes Lady Jane Grey who comes to visit occasionally. Together they like to play cards and tennis. But when King Henry dies and Edward becomes the 9-year-old boy king what will happen to Elizabeth...?
Queen Elizabeth is my HERO!!! I love that she never married and was the best ruler of that time. My favorite quote that she said when someone wanted to marry her is "I will have here but one mistress and no master" I want to be like her so much. This book is like Elizabeth's diary. "Long live good Queen Bess" and boy did she! Elizabeth became queen when she was 25, reined for 45 years, and lived until she was 69 years old.
This is in the Royal Diaries series.
Recommended for: people who like Elizabeth, and the whole Tudor family.
