Bookroo's summary
Lady Jane Grey, a young girl with freckles and sandy hair, unexpectedly ascends to the throne of England. Her reign lasts only nine days, leading to a shocking and cruel end. In a world of royal pageantry and privilege, Jane navigates the treacherous waters of power and betrayal. Will her brief rule leave a lasting impact, or will she be forgotten in the annals of history? Discover the gripping tale of a girl caught in the tumultuous tides of English royalty, where every decision could be her last.
From the publisher
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+
