I am reading a book by Carolyn Meyer. It is titled Anastasia, The Last Grand Duchess, Russia, 1914. It is a long title, but everything after Anastasia becomes the subtitle.
The book looks like another one of those history diaries where the plot is exactly the same. An American pioneer girl has a sick family member,she goes on an adventure,she comes home, and the family member is either well or dead. But usually well.
But, this is different. Anastasia is the youngest of four girls, and has one younger brother. The book is historical fiction, but is based on Anastasia’s real adventures. One difference is that in the book is that the second youngest Grand Duchess, Marie, is called Mashka. Her brother is named Alexi. It’s a really great book.
