A short and relatively easy read, this gives an excellent insight into the court and is a good way to support study of the Tudors in KS2, bringing a fresh look to the topic. -- Sarah Brew * www.parentsintouch.co.uk *
Historical novels are a marvellous way of helping children to understand history and giving them a new perspective on events and the Flashbacks series are particularly good at bringing history to life. It's an exciting and dramatic story set in a colourful and tense period. -- Sarah Brew * www.parentsintouch.co.uk *
Gripping and more historically accurate than some of the Tudor fantasies currently on offer, it illustrates clearly the savagery of public life and the moral dilemmas facing one well-meaning boy in a time of religious turmoil. Chancellor's succinct descriptions bring Tudor London to life with vivid period detail to ratchet up the mood of menace. -- Cassandra Clark * Historical Novel Society *
