Nine-year-old Princess Victoria steals a discarded Herd Record from the family stable and uses it to record her secret thoughts. Her act is a rebellion against her undemonstrative mother and the abusive Captain Conroy, who police her communications. Victoria's description of pivotal events reflects her love of family, her realization that she will rule England, and a growing acceptance that royal families, especially hers, must put aside private preferences as they serve the world as well as the nation. She tells of her disgust with nine-year-old Prince George and her powerlessness over the disturbing relationship between her mother and Captain Conroy. Victoria realizes the important place she holds with the king and the necessity of not appearing at the coronation when her controversial Uncle Billy rather than she succeeds him. She delights in playing with dolls and dressing up, dancing, and painting. Victoria also enjoys Shakespeare and excels on demanding examinations that include scripture, language, literature, and history. The epilogue and historical note explain how this fictional record anticipates the real events of Victoria's life and time, including the personal journal she began at thirteen with the stipulation to her family that the most private information be deleted after her death. ne pictures, captions, and cover portrait depict a more mature Victoria. Readers who have enjoyed other books in the Royal Diaries series, however, might be disappointed when they discover that this book concerns mostly her tenth year. Looking past the writer's age, they can glimpse demanding and tumultuous events that helped shape Victoria's rule. --Voice of Youth Advocates, Feb. 2002

    Easy to read. Easy to learn.

    Everyone has heard of Queen Victoria and everyone will immediately picture her as an older widow. But Victoria's upbringing and position within the royal family were unique and unusual. This book is packed with historical detail wrapped up in an easy-to-read story. Love The Royal Diaries series and this book is one of my favorites!

    Interesting Subject

    All these books are interesting in many ways. Hold-your-attention-to-the-end is the rule. Well done.

    Kids' book:

    This is more of a book for kids, but it's still alright. I would not recommend this for adults, especially anyone looking for a more in-depth biography of Queen Victoria. Definitely one for young teens, or even younger than that.
