This comical, fantastical, romantical, New York Times bestselling, (not) entirely true story of Lady Jane Grey is "an uproarious historical fantasy that's not to be missed" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
In My Lady Jane, coauthors Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows have created a one-of-a-kind YA fantasy in the tradition of The Princess Bride, featuring a reluctant king, an even more reluctant queen, a noble steed, and only a passing resemblance to actual history--because sometimes history needs a little help.
At sixteen, Lady Jane Grey is about to be married off to a stranger and caught up in a conspiracy to rob her cousin, King Edward, of his throne. But those trifling problems aren't for Jane to worry about. Jane gets to be Queen of England.
Like that could go wrong.
And don't miss the authors' next fun read, My Plain Jane!

A laugh-out-loud and delightful read for the summer.
Kristen B. - 6 years 1 month agoMy Lady Jane starts out with King Edward marrying off his cousin Jane to a mysterious stranger so she can succeed him as Queen of England after his untimely death. What could possibly go wrong, right? Well, just about everything. Edward's death comes much sooner than anyone expected. Jane's brand new husband spends his days as a horse. Yep... you read that right. Her husband literally becomes a horse during the day. Edward's sister believes the crown should rightfully be hers and decides to fight for it to oust Jane as queen. And this is really just the beginning. To find out what else goes wrong in Lady Jane Grey's 9-day stint as Queen of England, read this book! It's laugh-out-loud funny and just a delightful read for teens and adults alike.

Historical Fiction Meets Comedy
Irene N. - 6 years 3 months agoThis book is absolutely hilarious. It is very well-written and witty. The characters are truly delightful. There are so many twists and turns and it keeps readers guessing throughout the novel. It is very unique in its humor because it blends seamlessly with historical fiction aspects. This is a delightful read perfect for summer! I highly highly recommend. #SummerReading
