Mary Tudor “Bloody Mary”

The series is titled The Thinking Girl’s Treasury of Dastardly Dames but I think this book would appeal equally to boys and girls.  The biographical information about Mary Tudor is presented with engaging and interesting text, drawings and photographs.  The cover art is appealing and grabs the reader from the beginning.  This series reminds me a bit of the Wicked History series in terms of bringing historical figures to life in a way that young people become intrigued and want to read more.  I anticipate this book will circulate well and draw readers to pursue other non-fiction and fiction books about the subject and time period.  I was not able to locate an Accelerated Reader test for this book.
