Imagine being Queen at 6 days old !
Little Mary , Queen of Scots was exactly that. She married the heir to the French throne at 15 years. But only 2 years later, her husband died.
Mary returned to England. Instead of being welcomed, she was imprisoned. In a castle in Scotland. By her cousin Elizabeth was now the Queen of England. Elizabeth was Protestant unlike Mary who followed the Catholic religion. The Catholics and the Protestant were always fighting , each group wanted a different queen.
In Valerie's Wildings 'to Kill a Queen', twelve year old Kitty Lumsden, keeps a diary and records all the events that happen during these tense times.Kitty feels that her parents are involved in this somehow and is determined to find out how.An enthralling account of the 1580's , I highly recommend this book.It is very interesting and has a lot of action.I started it at 9 in the morning and could not sleep that night for wondering what was going to happen .Finally , I got out of bed and completed the book !
