Of Annie “Cleves” Marck, a smart wannabe journalist from Cleveland.īy Hannah Capin (Inkyard Press, January 2019) follows “Cleves” as she moves toĪ new school – Lancaster High School – and is best friends with the school’s Today I take a look at a YA retelling centering girls: aĬontemporary take on Henry VIII and his high school girlfriends from the perspective Cleves is the only girlfriend to come out of her relationship with Henry unscathed-but most breakups are messy, right? And sometimes tragic accidents happen…twice… Girlfriend number four and the narrator of The Dead Queens Club, a young adult retelling of Henry VIII and his six wives. Otherwise known as the reason I’ve already helped steal a car, a jet ski, and one hundred spray-painted water bottles when it’s not even Christmas break yet.
