Upon discovering that their newborn infant was, in fact, female and not male as first thought, Queen Marie Eleonore wailed inconsolably and King Gustavus Adolphus declared, nevertheless, that the child be raised as a prince. At age six, upon the death of her father, the child Kristina, was proclaimed King of Sweden, with regents assigned to council until she assumes the throne at age eighteen. And indeed, her life followed her father's plan. We meet Kristina when she's almost twelve years old and eschewing feminine practices but reveling in the study of military tactics,

Kristina: the girl King

I think that this was the best one out of all of the Royal Diary seris. I seriously could not put it down when I had too.

Christina, girl king - that's right

My two girls have read just about all the princess diaries in this series now (and Ive dipped into them too) and this must be the best of the lot. And they're all pretty good. Yes, Christina was named king, which signified that she had power, not that there was any confusion about her gender. Quite a remarkable, real person, and not someone I'd ever heard of before.

A good thing about these books is that they deal with the real concerns and pleasures of girls of this age, princesses included, as well as the situations only princesses face. And they are all based on people who were historically real, and are well researched as far as we can tell - although one of my daughters tells me there was a tiny gaffe in the one on Elizabeth (who became Elizabeth the first of England), where she was 11 at the beginning of the book although historically she hadn't had her 11th birthday yet. But she says this is not a problem! She wants me to say that she loves them so much, she wants to write her own princess diary book.

Kritana, King of Sweden

this was my favorite book in the series. I love the idea of a girl king, and Kristina always stands up for herself. this was a wonderful book, and i highly recommend it. Ant to Beatrice D: I'm sorry if you didn't like the part where the mother cries. You can't change history.
