Elizabeth I: Red Rose of the House of Tudor

(4) 4-6 Royal Diaries series. The fictionalized diary follows Elizabeth from the age of eleven until the death of her father, Henry VIII, when she is almost thirteen. The first-person voice sounds too contemporary to be convincing, but the details of sixteenth-century family and political intrigue, holiday festivities, and hygiene practices are interesting. Historical information and black-and-white photos are appended.
