The Secret in the Tower

3.5 Rounded to 4

The Secret in the Tower is a retelling of sorts about the real history of the Plantagenet brothers. No one really knows the truth behind the rumors of what happened to them so this was an interesting twist on what could have been.

The author's historical note at the end is worth reading as it gives background into the characters in the book that are based on real people.

While this was slower in some spots, overall it is a well-paced and easy read. This would be a good one for a Middle Grade English class to read and discuss together. For those who enjoy this time period and historical fiction in general, this is a good one for between other reads.

I sincerely appreciate the publisher and NetGalley for the review copy. All opinions are my own.
