Great piece of fiction, dipping into fantasy and the real world. Interestingly, this book was also the inspiration for the song "Jack Names the Planets" by Ash.

Very interesting combination of fact and fiction in this book. I started to remember names from The Crucible and it made the story all the more real.

Good range of facts at an appropriate level for most KS1 children. It was very much enjoyed by my class and helped drive our non-fiction writing.

"She was the best writer of magical children’s fiction of our generation. I don’t know if this is the best of her novels, but it’s my favourite."

Fiction purporting to be non-fiction (0 more)
This was a big DNF from me. I had many problems with this book. Yes, Cooney did disclaim that a lot of this book was conjecture, but it was worse than I was expecting. This book reminded me of James Patterson's book on King Tut that claimed to be non-fiction.
I quit 1/3rd into this book. I got tired of the maybe, likely, probably, it should have just been a fiction novel.
I'm also not a fan of the feminist theory of history, which was exactly what this was. Of that whole third of the book I got through, there was zero information presented that I didn't already know.
I think I'm so irritated by this book because I've been wanting to read it since it came out in 2015. I wait three years for this?!? Woof.
