Descripción: Críticas ★“Fast-paced, well-plotted, frequently hilarious—as delicious as the finest French pastry.” -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)Praise for My Calamity Jane: “Witty and winsome, this rollicking tall tale makes its own rules.” -- Booklist (starred review)“Full of twists, turns, and laugh-out-loud humor, this tongue-in-cheek feminist alternative history is impossible to put down. A thrilling alternative history that sparkles with wit and charm.” -- Kirkus ReviewsPraise for My Plain Jane:? “The authors’ affection for their source material is abundantly clear in this clever, romantic farce.” -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)“A delightfully deadpan deconstruction of a Gothic novel, with a ghost almost no one can see providing the commentary. Marvelously self-aware and almost too clever for its own good.” -- ALA Booklist (starred review)“A madcap story of ghosts, possession, revenge, and murder. Humorously blends fact with fiction and offers a gentler, more hopeful outcome for Charlotte, her siblings, and her heroine.” -- School Library Journal (starred review)Praise for My Lady Jane: “Wacky, irreverent, and just plain fun. This fantasy-adventure politely tips its hat to history before joyfully punting it out of the way. An utter delight.” -- Booklist (starred review)“An uproarious historical fantasy that’s not to be missed.” -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)“Gleefully anachronistic comedy.” -- Kirkus Reviews Long live the queen: The authors who brought you the New York Times bestselling My Lady Jane kick off an all-new historical trilogy with the classy, courtly tale of Mary, Queen of Scots. Welcome to Renaissance France, a place of poison and plots, of beauties and beasts, of mice and . . . queens?Mary is the queen of Scotland and the jewel of the French court.
