Raven Queen by Pauline Francis
 

I thought it was the best book in the whole thing. I liked the way the story was written.



Katy, Kingussie High


I thought it was a good book but the ending was not what I had expected.



Lauren, Nairn Academy


I really liked this book because I learnt a lot of the history in those days and the actual story was so gripping that I would read it in one go if I could.



Karen, Nairn Academy


I thought was one of the best books I have read. It was clever putting in things that happened in real life. I think it was a great read.



Louise, Kingussie High


It started well and was very exciting. Later on though, the story I expected did not happen. It felt as though the author was running out of ideas and just wanted to finish her story. I think the characters’ feelings should have been described better.



Sarah, Millburn Academy


I thought it was a good book and it had to end the way it did because she did die but Miss Francis should have told us more about Ned.



Freya, Portee High


Excellent!  A really good book which was easy to follow with good description throughout.

 


Faith, Wick High


This book is easy to get into and is a really enjoyable; you won't want to put it down!  This was really entertaining and quite a quick read for the weekend or if you’re just bored.  I gave this book 38/50.

 


Kiya, Wick High


This book was excellent! It had some very good descriptions and the story and characters were well thought out and brilliant.  I gave this book 42/50.



Tanya, Wick High


The book was quite an easy read but at the same time unputdownable (I read it in one day).  It was an emotional book and one I would definitely read again.

 


Sophie, Wick High


I liked it as it was based on a real person and the characters were very well described.



Eilidh, Millburn Academy


I liked the history and the fiction combined.



Laura, Millburn Academy


Really sad and true to history - this book truly calls out to the reader. It takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotion and into the world of Lady Jane Grey and her harsh way of life.  Remember the royal family didn't have it all it's own way back in time!!



Sammy, Wick High


I really enjoyed reading this book. I liked the way the author changed between the main characters so you could get both points of view. I thought the ending was a bit sudden but all in all it was a brilliant book.



M.C.S, Alness Academy


The book was a great read but at times I found it hard to keep up with. The author continually changed from character to character and at times I got completely lost. Overall though a brilliant book



Emily, Inverness Royal Academy


This was a really enjoyable book. The author kept me hooked, I never knew history could be so interesting.



Hannah, Inverness Royal Academy


I really like history and real life stories so this was the best book for me.



Ellie, Charleston Academy


I liked this book because it's a point in history, and there was romance in it as well.



Sophie, Charleston Academy


I thought this book was a very good read. The book kept getting more interesting as I turned the pages.



Hannah, Inverness Royal Academy


When I was reading the book, the characters seemed real and I was really drawn to the description of the places.  Everything that happened in the book was playing in my mind at the same time and I thought of myself following the main character’s journey throughout.  I think this was a really good book and I couldn't put it down.



Morag, Inverness Royal Academy


I liked the way the author chose an event in history to write about and then made up a bit of it.   I also liked the way she linked the queen with the ravens.



Georgia, Inverness Royal Academy
