### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great for kids, and everyone else too
  

*by J***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2010*

Scholastic's "Wicked History" series is a wonderful idea that actually works in execution.  The books are small, short paperbacks intended for middle school aged children, but that can be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in history.  Each book takes an historical figure, usually infamous or nefarious, and gives a brief history.  The work is enriched with the use of maps, a "web" of actors (genealogy and key figures in that person's life) and historical pictures or drawings.  The font size is also larger than standard, for younger readers.Here, we get a glimpse into the life of Mary Tudor, nicknamed "Bloody Mary" for the nearly 300 protestants she had burned during her short reign as queen.  In fact, the book opens with one such burning, a dramatic way to draw a reader in.  However, there was more to her than that and this book tries to give a more balanced look at a much maligned figure.  How she went from cherished, pampered daughter to exiled bastard.These are not intended for history buffs/people highly familiar with the subject.  They are more like an expanded, enriched encyclopedia entry.  Great for hooking a child's interest, and then literally offering sources at the end of where to go for more information.  I was especially impressed that they do not only list scholarly books, but also websites.  Overall, a great idea and I intend to continue with the series.  Many of the figures I know absolutely nothing about, and a little bit more history would be welcome.

    "Bloody Mary" Tudor...not such a great read
  

*by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2011*

This book is more geared toward young adult readers who have to get some facts quickly for history class.  It gives the facts, but doesn't look into the psychology of this  fanatical monarch. For anyone who is seriously interested in the Tudors and the chaos that took place after Henry VIII died (not that he was any prize) this will leave you wanting a bigger, better book.
