reviewed on + 15 more book reviews


During the reign of Edward VI of England, a teenager named Hannah Green dresses as a boy so she can work in her father's printshop. The Greens are actually Spanish Jews who have fled the Inquisition and immigrated to London. Hannah is also gifted with the ability to see into the future, an ability that changes her life when she becomes a royal Fool at court--and a spy who becomes involved in the conflicts between Catholics and Protestants as Protestant Edward is succeeded by Catholic Mary, with Elizabeth waiting in the wings.
