<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Mean Girls" meets "The Tudors" in this clever contemporary retelling of Henry VIII and his wives (or, in this case, his high school girlfriends)--a fun, snarky read that provides great historical detail in an accessible way for teens while giving the infamous tale of Henry VIII its own unique spin. 1/2.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><strong>If your school's homecoming king had a little too much in common with Henry VIII, would you survive with your head still attached?</strong> <p/>You'd think being the new girl in a tiny town would equal one very boring senior year. But if you're me--Annie Marck, alias Cleves--and you accidentally transform into teenage royalty by entering Lancaster High on the arm of the king himself? Life becomes the exact opposite of boring. <p/>Henry has it all: he's the jock, the genius and the brooding bad boy all in one. Which sort of explains why he's on his sixth girlfriend in two years. <p/>What it doesn't explain is why two of them--two of <em>us</em>--are dead. <p/>My best friend thinks it's Henry's fault, which is obviously ridiculous. My nemesis says we shouldn't talk about it, which is straight-up sketchy. But as the resident nosy new girl, I'm determined to find out what really happened to Lancaster's dead queens...ideally before history repeats itself.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A clever, irresistible twist on history that you'll want to follow to the end.

Hannah Capin has a witty new voice that's sure to make heads roll."--Whitney Gardner, award-winning author of <em>You're Welcome, Universe</em> <p/>"Witty narrator Cleves is a feminist force, lambasting slut-shaming and calling out her female classmates' internalized misogyny."--<em>Kirkus Reviews </em>(starred review) <p/>"<em>The Dead Queens Club</em> isn't just a fun book--it's <em>brilliant</em>."--NPR.org <p/>"Clever nods to English history are woven throughout this teen drama...a crafty, compelling debut."--<em>Booklist</em><br>
