Love the combination of Elizabeth and the nautical life. ( ) Second in the Lady Grace Mysteries, a series of books for young adults, especially appealing to girls. I appreciate the spunkiness and daring of the young Lady Grace, star of the novels. Her adventures might seem unbelievable, but they do provide a smacking good read. There is enough wow factor, grungy description, and silliness to appeal to teens. When Lady Sarah, one of Lady Grace's fellow Maids-of-Honor, is kidnapped, she secretly sets out in disguise to rescue her before her reputation is ruined. Grace stows away on a ship with her friend Masou, but when they are discovered by the ship's crew, they are put to work on the ship. Grace has to find and rescue Sarah without revealing her identity or it will be her reputation destroyed. This is the second book in the excellent young adult, historical fiction, mystery series that is really written by Patricia Finney. Finney puts together the excellent historical research she uses for her adult books and makes a wonderful entry-level series for young readers interested in historical fiction. The heroine is great, the plot entertains, and there is some lovely humor sprinkled throughout. I enjoyed these as an adult reader as a quick read, and I think others would too. Highly recommended. Although it isn't as good as the first story this tale of underhanded dealings in the Elizabethan Naval Shipyards and the kidnapping of a girl is interesting. Though I'm not sure that the story was more based on interesting research than a story that really flowed from the characters. Grace is an interesting character and is starting to really grow into her own person in this story. I'm looking forward to more in this series. Zeige 5 von 5 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
