Set in 1926, nine-year-old Rosalyn invents a new game to play with the girls she shares a dormitory with in the Hawthorne House Orphanage. Revolving around a Royal Court, their make-believe game quickly becomes a way to gain some measure of control in their unhappy lives. But when the rules start changing and the stakes start rising, nothing is safe, and Rosalyn finds that she's willing to get her hands dirty in order to be the Queen.Rosalyn will do whatever it takes to wear the crown.All that's left is to take it.
This was an interesting story. A little slow in the beginning, it picks up the pace after a bit. There are a few passages that are nicely twisted. I was just expecting a little more. 3.5 stars.
so-so
