Publisher Description
A gripping and page-turning young adult book about one of history's greatest women. The Queen of Scots is dead and they say I killed her. They lie! Just a girl to those around her, Elizabeth is now the Queen of England. She has outsmarted her enemies and risen above a lifetime of hurt and betrayal – a mother executed by her father, a beloved brother who died too young and an enemy sister whose death made her queen. Not knowing whom she can trust, Elizabeth is surrounded by men who give her compliments and advice but may be hiding daggers and poison behind their backs. Elizabeth must use her head and ignore her heart to be the queen her people need. But what if that leads to doing the one thing she swore she would never do: betray a fellow queen, her cousin, Mary, Queen of Scots? 'A vivid insight into the heart and mind of Queen Elizabeth I.' Georgia Blain, author of Closed for Winter

Just A Queen
Enjoyable read however was hoping that it would be a slightly more thorough portrayal of Elizabeth 1st's reign. The primary focus of this story was the relationship between Elizabeth and Mary Queen of Scott's. I would have loved to have heard more about other agonies and decisions of her time as Queen and would also have liked to have been taken all the way to the end of her reign. Very much worth the read but I didn't love it as much as Just A Girl.
