Nine Days a Queen
Nine Days a Queen: The Short Life and Reign of Lady Jane Grey | Ann Rinaldi
2 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
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+

Not my favorite of her works but still a good read.

Not one of Rinaldi's best, but an interesting read all the same.
