4.0 out of 5 stars A good blend of suspense and history, 18 Jul 1998
By A Customer
Alice Tuckfield has a real problem- her father is dead- murdered by agents of the queen and she needs a safe place to hide. Luckily, she stumbles onto some boys who sing in the cathederal choir. Communal life suits hiding her among them- even the choirmaster doesn't notice her for a week. But Alice overhears conversations and knows that her father's murderers are connected to the catherderal. This book is great for introducing students to life in the 16th century- the school work, the ways of church and society. Also Alice is a fine heroine- the action is slow at first but it picks up quickly.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is one of the best books I've ever read!, 21 Feb 1998
By A Customer
I rated this book a "9" because it lacked excitement in the beginning.
