The Secret Diary of Eleanor Cobham by Tony Riches

1.0

You know what the middle grade series "The Royal Diaries" did right? There was a narrative within the diary entries, which meant there was a "mental movie" I could watch.

You know what this book did wrong? Eleanor was just repeating information from her life and her imprisonment. I read a few pages, flipped forward and realized there wasn't going to be a movie, it was just going to be a lecture. And I don't read books for lectures.

I didn't even make it past the first chapter. Her Wikipedia page was more interesting.
