This is a very sad book. I recommend this book to a girl who loves princesses. Even if you don't you are sure to love this exciting classic.

It was sort of scary when the mom went to jail. I also found it very boring compared to the other books I have read of Kathryn Lasky's.

Indian Captive is a great book for anyone who loves adventure. It is very interesting to find out about how she got used to being an Indian.

by Kathryn Lasky

Learn more about this Austrian princess who has to marry the Dauphin of France. I learned a lot about Marie Antoinette in this book. It is also very interesting to observe the extravagant life of the French.

The Lady Grace Mysteries: Betrayal
by Grace Cavendish

I thought this book was exciting and scary. Lady Grace had to save another lady by going on a ship full of men. It was also mysterious.
