I thought it was a very interesting book. The genre is historical fiction. The story takes place in France during the French Revolution. The main character of the story is Marie Therese, daughter of Marie Antoinette and King Louis the sixteenth. Marie Therese goes out into the streets of Paris only to discover what is really going on in the real world. Her people are starting a revolution against her family and they want to murder the entire royal family. She switches places with her best friend Ernestine who looks exactly like her. She meets a boy named Henri who lives on the streets and falls in love with him. Her family leaves her behind when they are forced to leave the Palace of Versailles. She experiences many horrifying things such as watching peoples heads be chopped of with the guillotine. With the help of Henri, she is able to overcome any obstacle that stands in her way.
