Meggy Swann is a handicapped girl who is brought to Londonto meet her father whom she has never met. When she getsthere, she uncovers a plot to kill the Duke of Buckingham.She must make an important choice. No matter what shedecides, she could destroy her relationship with everyoneshe knows. But will she make the right choice? Read the bookto find out.

Opinion: 

I thought this book was a good book overall.Some parts were a bit dull. Some things I liked are thesetting which was during my favorite era, The Middle Ages.She described her characters nicely and I felt like I knewthem by their attitudes. My favorite character was Roger whowas a performer. I liked the way he was mysterious, he wouldpop up in different parts of the story. This book isappropriate for our age group, but I think this book shouldbe geared to 9-12 year olds and not young adults, sincethere wasn't as much action as I expected.
