Karen Cushman, two-time Newbery Award winner for Catherine, Called Birdy and The Midwife’s Apprentice, says 

“I loved getting to know Victoria before she was Queen Victoria but she’s only one of the rich characters in and around Kensington Palace.   Prisoners in the Palace is a delightful behind-the- scenes look at Victorian royalty and the making of a queen.  I enjoyed it immensely and recommend it highly”.

Prisoners in the Palace a Flamingnet Top Choice

A teen reviewer said:

”

I loved this book. It is an interesting mix of mystery, secret motives, and romance. My favorite character, besides Liza of course, was a teenager who went by the name “Inside Boy.” He lived inside Kensington and no one knew he was there. As the story progresses the action’s pace picks up and brings everything to an amazing climax that will leave readers satisfied. I think the most interesting part of this book is that it takes a look at what would most likely happen to a maid who had been dismissed from Kensington and how some of the newspapers operated at the time. The most amazing thing about this book, however, is that many of the plot lines have some truth in them. At the back of the book, the author gives her reference books and websites so that the reader can further explore the life of Queen Victoria. This book is a definite read for anyone who likes romance, historical fiction, or just a good plain book.”Reviewer Age:16Reviewer City, State and Country: Mineola, TX U.S.A.
