Description

About the Book

The acclaimed author gives a compelling, first-person voice to a historical figure from Tudor England, as she relates the true story of Lady Jane Grey, who at 16 years old was crowned Queen of England, and beheaded only nine days later.

From the Back Cover

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+
