ROYAL DIARIES: NZINGHA

I love this book. This is definitely one of my fave RDs. Literally, my only criticism is that it's far too short! It's only 85 pages. It's short, but it's also well-written and gets the entire story across in just these few pages. All the characters are pretty awesome, except the ones you're supposed to dislike.

McKissack wrote a few of the Dear America series: A Picture of Freedom (one of the more well-known DAs) in 1997, Color Me Dark in 2000, and Look to the Hills in 2004. I don't remember the latter two well enough to say right now, but I know I enjoyed A Picture of Freedom.

Really nothing much else to say other than read this! Nzingha is a badass. I love her.
