Lady Grace is back and hot on the trail of another mystery! On summer progess attending Elizabeth I, all sorts of mishaps are encountered, a few of which might even be attempts on the Queen's life...
Grace is definitely growing up a bit in this one (she's certainly interested in a young nobelman...), but it still remains totally appropriate for younger readers. The plot is decent and the characters are likable. Another solid volume in the series.

This series of books is very cleverly constructed. The titles progress by the letters of the alphabet as well as by theme. Another feature i found fantastic and have noted in a few other books is the glossary at the end of each book. I think this is a great way for a book to be educational and entertaining. I cannot recall how many times I question what a word means and then never get around to looking it up. Whereas, these books are classified as children's literature, I found them to be very e

I love learning about Elizabeth I in this series and some of the funky things they thought back in those days, like 10 day old urine being the best thing to get out tough laundry stains!

Lady Grace, the Queen, and the rest of the court are traveling through England to escape London during the worst plague months. While staying with Robert Dudley (the Earl of Leicester), they are joined by Prince Sven of Sweden. It is well known that the Queen and the Earl have been in love for a long time, but the Swedish Prince is out to marry Queen Elizabeth. Jealousies and tensions are running high as both men compete for the Queen’s hand. Things get worse when a series of accidents threaten

The third about Queen Elizabeth's Maid of Honour, Grace Cavendish, a fun loving 13 year old breaking out of her usual dull life. This time mysterious accidents all aimed at Queen Elizabeth and possibly perpepuated by her suitors occur as the entire court is travelling one summer. Wonderful details from that time period, good humor especially about some of the other Maids of Honour and a good mystery as well.

I picked this series up on a whim and I'm definitely glad I did. Grace Cavendish is a wonderful, strong little girl who would be an excellent role model for any young lady. Set in Elizabethan times and rife with political intrigue that a kid can understand, this book livens up history in a way that will appeal to all ages.

Good late middle ages historical fiction with a mystery. It's part of a series, so if you're looking for a new series, you might want to try this one.
