This eighteen volume series, published by Scholastic, chronicles specific time periods of royal women in history.
Being slightly obsessed with British history of late, I've focused on the monarchies of England.
The books are written diary style from the perspective of the subject. All of the books I've read include a note from the author discussing which parts are history and which parts are fiction. Also included at the end are images related to each subject.
I'd recommend these books to any 3rd-6th grader interested in the subject.
Titles I've read so far:
Isabel: Jewel of Castilla by Carolyn Meyer
Elizabeth: Red Rose of the House of Tudor by Kathryn Lasky
Victoria: May Blossom of Britannia by Anna Kirwan
