I really liked how the story was told through correspondence ( )

This is a colorful tale reimagining the story of Richard III and the Princes in the Tower from the perspective of the daughter of one of the guards. The novel is told in the form of notes passed among the children and a few royal decrees.

The pictures are a little more cartoonish than I prefer, but they are brightly colored and sometimes quite clever, and carry a lot of the sense of the story.

Not having children, I'm not sure whether they will easily understand it without previous knowledge of the story, but there is a historical note at the end that parents may want to read first. ( )
