The Family Romanov: Murder, Rebellion and the Fall of Imperial Russia
by, Candace Fleming
Rating: Good, non-fiction
I picked this book up for my mother who is visiting Russia in a few weeks, and decided to read it myself. I did not know that the book was considered to be a middle school, or a very young YA book. It didn't take long to figure that out. My rating is based on the idea that the reader is a young person.
The book is an easy historical read for the audience that it intended to reach.
A very general picture of the conditions of the Russian people, and the clueless Tsar and his family. There are quotes from letters written from families, both the royals and commoners. Very good for a reference in a middle school history or an English project.
