Royal Diaries series
A number of students have been reading the Royal Diaries series (international version of Dear America, so I ordered more titles, including these:
Lady of Palenque: flower of Bacal (F KIR)
“In 749, the Maya princess Green Jay, of the Kingdom of Bacal, writes in her diary about her arduous journey to Xukpip to meet King Fire Keeper, her future husband.”
Weetamoo: heart of the Pocassets (F SMI)
“The 1653-1654 diary of a fourteen-year-old Pocasset Indian girl, destined to become a leader of her tribe, describes how her life changes with the seasons, after a ritual fast she undertakes, and with her tribe’s interaction with the English “Coat-men” of the nearby Plymouth Colony.”
Kristina: the girl king (F MEY)
“Kristina, who became king–not queen–of Sweden when she was only a little girl, confides in her diary her feelings about her awkward relationship with her mother, her royal duties and responsiblities, and the people who surround her.”
Written by Carolyn Meyer, author of the Young Royals series.
Royal Diaries already in the WMS Library include Cleopatra: daughter of the Nile (F GRE), Jahanara, princess of princesses (F LAS), Nzingha: warrior queen of Matamba (F MCK), and Sondok, princess of the moon and stars (F HOL).
It is very, very difficult not to type Royal Dairies by accident.
