Synopsis

New York Times Bestseller * Publishers Weekly Best Young Adult Book of 2016 * Bustle Best Young Adult Book of 2016 * YALSA 2017 Best Fiction for Young Adults

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.

Review:

Gleefully anachronistic comedy. --Kirkus Reviews"

Wacky, irreverent, and just plain fun. This fantasy-adventure politely tips its hat to history before joyfully punting it out of the way. An utter delight. --Booklist (starred review)"

An uproarious historical fantasy that s not to be missed. --Publishers Weekly (starred review)"

The Tudors meets Monty Python. Prepare to laugh and gasp and clutch your pearls. --Tahereh Mafi, New York Times bestselling author of the Shatter Me series"

History, humor, and unexpected magic come together in this marvelous story. --Jessica Day George, author of Silver in the Blood"

Adventure, intrigue, humor, and romance abound. A great choice for those who enjoy lighthearted, alternative history adventures. --School Library Journal"

Three cheers for this well-written and rollicking revision of history full of timely mannerisms and bold adventure. Those who enjoy clever humor, colorful fantasy, and light romance will savor each page. --Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)"
