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.
