Marvelously self-aware and almost too clever for its own good."--<em>Booklist </em><strong>(starred review)</strong> </br></br>★ "An uproarious historical fantasy that's not to be missed."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em> <strong>(starred review)</strong> </br></br>★ "Holds all the flavor of a juicy period novel yet with the addition of numerous, witty asides. Full of wry humor and laugh-out-loud commentary. The authors' affection for their source material is abundantly clear in this clever, romantic farce."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em> <strong>(starred review)</strong> </br></br>PRAISE FOR <em>MY LADY JANE: </em> ★ "Wacky, irreverent, and just plain fun. This fantasy-adventure politely tips its hat to history before joyfully punting it out of the way. An utter delight."--<em>Booklist </em><strong>(starred review)</strong> </br></br>"Gleefully anachronistic comedy."--<em>Kirkus Reviews</em> </br></br>"Reader, it delighted. A fun, supernatural mashup of different literary novels that shines on its own merit."--<em>Kirkus Reviews</em> </br></br>★ "A madcap story of ghosts, possession, revenge, and murder. Humorously blends fact with fiction and offers a gentler, more hopeful outcome for Charlotte, her siblings, and her heroine."--School Library Journal <strong>(starred review)</strong> </br></br>"Adventure, intrigue, humor, and romance abound. A great choice for those who enjoy lighthearted, alternative history adventures."--School Library Journal </br></br>"History, humor, and unexpected magic come together in this marvelous story."--Jessica Day George, author of <em>Silver in the Blood</em> </br></br>"The Tudors meets Monty Python. Prepare to laugh and gasp and clutch your pearls."--Tahereh Mafi, <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of the Shatter Me series </br></br>"Three cheers for this well-written and rollicking revision of history full of timely mannerisms and bold adventure. Those who enjoy clever humor, colorful fantasy, and light romance will savor each page."--Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
