Betsy and the Emperor

294 pp. | McElderry | October, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-689-85880-9 $16.95
(3) 4-6 Fourteen-year-old Betsy develops an unlikely friendship with Napoleon during the first years of his imprisonment on the island of St. Helena. Loosely based on an actual person, this Betsy is a rambunctious, free-spirited girl. The fast-paced story peppered with reminiscences of Napoleon's exploits may motivate readers to learn more about him. An author's note and source notes are appended.
