The Stolen One Suzanne Crowley Books

I highly recommend this novel for anyone interested in historical fiction. Katherine Bab's story is set in Elizabethan England. The Stolen One has all the elements one looks for when reading an entertaining, suspenseful novel.

First, the settings are creatively described. The reader has a very clear image of what the countryside looks like and how dramatic the changes are when Katherine finally reaches London.

Also, the author does a great job of getting the reader hooked from the beginning. Katherine has always been curious about who she really is and who gave her life. When her adoptive mother dies without giving Katherine many answers, the vivacious and outspoken teen sets off to London to hopefully discover the truth. Katherine meets Queen Elizabeth I and strikes up a friendship with the Virgin Queen. Along the way, the mysteries unfold and Katherine does learn the truth about who she is, which is an amazing surprise.

Finally, what I really liked about this story was the historical detail. So many YA novels about the Elizabethan era tend to read as not fully researched. The author mentions certain mysteries of the day - not just the question about Queen Elizabeth's exact relationship with Robert Dudley, but also what happened to Katherine Parr's lost daughter. Some questions are answered, some leave us wondering, but overall the novel ended on a satisfying note.

I would recommend The Stolen One to any reader interested in the era who also wants to read a book with substance.

The Stolen One Suzanne Crowley Books Reviews

Loved reading "history" but could have done without the extensive description of the dresses mens wear etc too bad I couldn't see all the finery would be better may e a movie of the story ? Or is there one?
Mostly a boring teen-drama. I watch and read some shamefully dramatic court dramas, but this one failed to entertain.
I wanted to like this more, but I just couldn't get into it. I read the whole book, and I found a lot of it to be very frustrating. I guess that could be good, as you're feeling the frustration of the character, but it was a bit too tedious for me. The story is good, though.
I really enjoyed the history and story line of this book. It is well written and the disasters are easy to follow. I don't want to give the story line away, but will state it is a great historical read!!!!
This is a very entertaining romantic mystery, especially so because it's presented in a Tudor period first person narrative. It is through a young girl's eyes that this complex story evolves, and the mystery of her birth and parents is discovered. Definately kept me wondering what would happen next - and guessing right along with her - as one well-crafted fact after another is uncovered. Obviously researched with great care, a fascinating vision of this time in European history is created right from the start. Great example of historical fiction. I'm enriched for having read it! Any teen or adult would easily get lost within the pages of The Stolen One. I do hope there are more of these wonderful stories on the way!
I was very impressed overall with this book! After a couple of slow chapters, the plot takes off abruptly and doesn't let up until the last page, where it is all tied up in a satisfying ending. The heroine of the story, Katherine Bab, is a headstrong teenage girl who is raised in the English countryside during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Kat knows she has a mysterious past and is determined to discover exactly who she is. Because of her extraordinary skill as a seamstress, she is called to court to make a dress for the Queen. There is a mysterious connection between Queen Bess and Kat, one that makes Kat even more determined to discover her past. Kat's journey of self-discovery is full of mystery, romance and tragedies - all of which engaged this reader and made it hard to put this book down. A great read and very engrossing!
Kat lives with Grace and Anna in Elizabethan England. She knows she is different from her family, but works diligently in their business of embroidery at their home in a small village. Grace urges her to marry Christian, a local shepherd and neighbor, but Kat wants more from life. An unexpected visitor causes much tumult and leads Kat to pick up with Anna and head to London where she hopes to find out the truth of her parentage. Through a chance meeting on the way to London, the girls find a protector who helps them market their embroidery skills. When Kate's work catches the Queen's eye, she is brought to court, and is closer to finding the answer, but in peril among the "wolves" at court. At times impetuous and selfish, Kate is still an interesting heroine. There are glimmers of romance throughout the story as well. Although I figured out the origins of her birth before Kat did, I enjoyed the story and the historical detail was well done. The descriptions of her embroidery were also a delightful addition.
