About this product
Product Information
A Junior Library Guild Selection Eighteen-year-old Constance is not interested in marriage or in being a "young lady." But for a young woman coming of age in the early 1800s, that's just about all that's available to her. When her parents arrange her a marriage with a man more than twice her age, she's powerless to resist. Stance couldn't possibly find her newfound husband less appealing, but what can she do? Here's what: Four months into the marriage, she can slip out of their bed in the middle of the night, and she can put on his clothes. She can look in the mirror and like what she sees. She can sneak out of the house before dawn and visit the baker's scrawny son, who has just been drafted into the army, and offer to take his place. Vive l'Empereur! Hot on Stance's tail all the while is her younger brother Pieter, determined to bring Stance back home to Ghent where she belongs. (The battlefield is no place for a young lady, after all.) Ironhead, or, Once A Young Lady is the riotous and powerful story of a fierce renegade, and the silly men who try to bring her down. P R A I S E "Action-packed. Rich with detail. Rowdy and contemplative in turn, this celebration of historical gender nonconformity is as compelling as it is fun." -- Publishers Weekly (starred) "Stance is a delightfully chaotic protagonist, who is (scandalously) free with her affection and kisses and whose easy charm gets her out of more than little trouble. Thrilling, often hilarious, and sometimes tear-jerking, this romp of a story is reminiscent of classic adventure tales." -- BCCB (starred) "Propulsive storytelling. Though the book ends as Stance sets off in quest of the woman she loves, the real heart here is the affection that grows between two very different siblings." -- Horn Book (starred) "A perfect choice for fans of adventure tales with a prominent feminist streak." -- Booklist

[STAR] "Stance is a delightfully chaotic protagonist, who is (scandalously) free with her affection and kisses and whose easy charm gets her out of more than little trouble. Thrilling, often hilarious, and sometimes tear-jerking, this romp of a story is reminiscent of classic adventure tales."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred), "First-person chapters switch between sardonic Ironhead and naïve Pier, who struggles with his dysfunctional family and being unable to attend school, and the siblings' narratives become increasingly compelling as their stories intertwine. Vivid language in this novel translated from the Dutch doesn't shy away from the grime of everyday life or the graphic violence of war, and the descriptions of wartime medical procedures are not for the faint of heart. Vivid and brutal--but not without a sliver of hope." -- Kirkus Reviews, -- NotableQuotes , NotableQuotes, "Rollicking adventure reigns in this fast-paced, humor-filled novel set during the Napoleonic Wars. A novel so vivid that one can easily imagine it being adapted as a period piece movie or streaming series in the future."--School Library Connection , -- NotableQuotes , NotableQuotes, "Rollicking adventure reigns in this fast-paced, humor-filled novel set during the Napoleonic Wars.

Vivid and brutal--but not without a sliver of hope." -- Kirkus Reviews, [STAR] "Propulsive storytelling...Throughout the story--with its hilarity and drastic eventfulness, its duels and battles, unexpected lovers, and lesson in how a girl can use a bellows to facilitate peeing while standing--Stance and Pier mature and become more resolutely themselves. Though the book ends as Stance sets off in quest of the woman she loves, the real heart here is the affection that grows between two very different siblings."--Horn Book (starred), "This is an absolutely wonderful book. The Napoleonic Wars have never been so feminist, so queer, or so much fun. Somehow simultaneously a haunting portrayal of the horrors of war and a hilarious caper about the disgusting, dimwitted men who try to keep a spirited young woman in her supposed place, Ironhead is for fans of Dickinson, The Great, and Outlander. In fact: Netflix, if you're listening, I've got your next great series right here."--Rebekah Shoaf, Boogie Down Books (Bronx, NY), "This story moves like lightning and fuels me with the same powerful energy androgynous Stance aka Ironhead catalyzes."-Jacqueline Izzo, Books Are Magic (Brooklyn, NY), "First-person chapters switch between sardonic Ironhead and naïve Pier, who struggles with his dysfunctional family and being unable to attend school, and the siblings' narratives become increasingly compelling as their stories intertwine.

A novel so vivid that one can easily imagine it being adapted as a period piece movie or streaming series in the future."--School Library Connection, "An action-packed and often funny historical novel. The chapters are alternately narrated by 18 year old Constance and her younger brother Pier. As the oldest daughter of a downwardly mobile family in Ghent, Constance has no option but to marry a wealthy, much older man, right? Well, she chooses to dress as a man and join Napoleon's army. Meanwhile, Pier needs to escape the clutches of a crooked customs officer and get their father out of debtor's prison. Squeamish readers might disagree, but the historical details - especially of life in the army, battle (Aspern-Essling in 1809) and treatment of the wounded in the Napoleonic wars - are absolutely fascinating."--Five Books
