Counting this one as a book with a map—Scotland and France, that is. This was an excellent installment of the Royal Diaries. To me, the most effective historical fiction is one that makes me want to research what really happened! Which is why I appreciate that the authors of Royal Diaries put the history at the end of the story. After reading the Cleopatra Royal Diary, I thought maybe I just didn‘t like it because I‘m an adult now. Nope.

My daughter decided to donate a few of her books and I rescued a few from the box. This is one of the three that I read when I was younger, and it wasn't as good as I remember it being. I'll probably pass all 3 of them onto my 12 year old sister! Hopefully she enjoys them!
