In Rinaldi's spectacular new book for young adults, she's moved beyond American history to British, and the tale of a
young redheaded girl who yearned to be queen.
Despised by her father and sister, shoved aside by the nation's leaders, and motherless, young Elizabeth I grows up at her
country estate where she learns from a young age the dangers of crossing paths with monarchs. She realizes that even
though her sister and her brother stand between her and the Crown, she will one day be queen.
THE REDHEADED PRINCESS is her sharp, fast-paced, and beautifully wrought story of how that came to be.
Wonderfully detailed and breathtakingly accurate, this is perhaps the most engaging book that tells of Elizabeth's plights
and triumphs.
