OPHELIA, Bloomsbury Children's Books, 2006
In this reimagining of Shakespeare's famous tragedy, it is Ophelia who takes center stage. A rowdy, motherless girl, she grows up at Elsinore Castle to become the queen's lady-in-waiting. When she catches the attention of Prince Hamlet, their love blossoms in secret. But bloody deeds soon turn Denmark into a place of madness, and Ophelia must choose between her love for Hamlet and her own life. She devises a plan to escape from Elsinore...holding a dangerous secret.
TWO GIRLS OF GETTYSBURG, Bloomsbury Children's Books, 2008
Lizzie and Rosanna are cousins and best friends, but when the Civil War breaks out, Lizzie finds herself committed to the Union cause, while Rosanna is swept up in the passions of the Old South--and in her love for a Confederate officer. The cousins grapple with the senseless brutality of war and the sacrifices that must be made in order to survive. It will take one of the war's bloodiest battles to reunite them. And in its aftermath, their lives are changed forever.
LADY MACBETH'S DAUGHTER, Bloomsbury Children's Books, October, 2009
