The Lady Grace Mysteries: Loot By Grace Cavendish - Random House Review by Reading Leader, Sabeela Mahmood from King Ecgbert School


The third in our set of reviews of Random House books by Reading Leader, Sabeela Mahmood from King Ecgbert School.

The Lady Grace Mysteries: Loot
By Grace Cavendish

PLOT

The story is about a maid of honour serving Queen Elizabeth. It is the day before the Queen’s coronation anniversary when the crown of St Edward gets stolen. Grace must now turn Lady Pursuivant and track it down.
MAIN CHARACTERS

The main characters are Lady Grace, Queen Elizabeth I, Ellie, Mary Shelton and the Jewel Thief.

WHAT I THOUGHT

The book is a great blend of adventure and 15th century life. I thought it was very well written and it had a lot of tense bits making me want to read right through to the end. The descriptions of life then was very detailed and convincing. I would love to read the other books in the series. I would definitely recommend this book to my friends. Overall it was a wonderful and great book to read.
