Review

This book is Anthony Horowitz's view of History. It's like one of does books with epic plot twists that you never see coming. It's a good read and some of the stuff in the book are actual facts and it's a quick way to study for a history test on the rein of Queen Elizabeth I. (wink, wink)

Summary

Tom is an orphan boy who works for horrible people. He is then whisked off by a kindly stranger who gets _ _ _ D _ R _ _ and he has to go off on his own. He tries to embrace his talent but he can't read and when he finally does get a job it turns out he's being dragged into something bigger than he ever expected which is..... and it ends with the biggest plot twist that if it ever happened in real history the Queen herself would have been hung.

SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER! ALERT!

The ending is that the Queen got preggers and had the baby and sent it away but, the family that should've taken care of the son failed and the son died but, not before the son had a son (pun unintended), and the son is Tom. Which makes the Queen his Grandmother!!!!
