My Contrary Mary By Cynthia Hand, Brodie Ashton, Jodi Meadows (Ages 14+)

The Lady Janies are back with another clever spin on history. This time, it’s the story of Mary, Queen of Scots, who was sent to the French court at the age of five and engaged to Francis, the dauphin. Now teenagers, Mary and Francis are best friends. But Francis doesn’t want to be king and Mary is a shapeshifter. This wonderful tale is full of spells, potions, and plenty of magical realism.
