About this product

Product Information

Scholastic is proud to present the final installment of The Royal Diaries series. Drama and intrigue explode in the story of young Princess Catherine's incredible journey to greatness. Fourteen-year-old Prussian princess Sophia finds herself entangled in her mother's efforts to arrange a marriage between Sophia and Charles-Peter, a young German duke and nephew of the Russian empress Elizabeth. As Sophia's mother moves to make the match, she and Sophia must travel from their humble home in Zerbst, Prussia, to Russia--the kingdom of Elizabeth. There, Sophia is renamed Catherine and married to Charles-Peter, but she watches helplessly as her family is torn from her, her own mother is involved in a spying ring against the empress, and all that is familiar to her disappears.

SLJ Gr 4-7--This novel is written from the viewpoint of Princess Sophie Augusta Fredericka of Anhalt-Zerbst, who later became Catherine the Great. The diary opens with an entry dated August 7, 1743, when Sophie is 14. Her mother obsesses over marrying her into a prestigious family. When the studious and rather plain-looking teen has an opportunity to marry Peter, Grand Duke of Russia, she must face the scrutiny of critical Empress Elizabeth. In her "diary," Sophie talks about her home situation and recounts the hardships of travel to Russia, her efforts to please the empress, and her engagement. Gregory's strong characterizations bring the historically grounded figures to life. Events convey the difficulties of Russian life during 1743-1745. At first slow moving, the plot picks up speed when Sophie meets the empress. The diary concludes with her impending wedding. Supplementary materials include a family tree, black-and-white reprints of painted portraits of Catherine and family, a map of Prussia and Russia from 1744, and the author's commentary on her use of primary sources.--Lynn K.

I won this Bible in an auction. The seller packaged the Bible well enough to prevent any damage during shipping. The item was as described by the seller. I contacted the seller to ask a question about the Bible, and he responded promptly. I'm pleased with my purchase, and I'm pleased to have found another trusted, A+ Seller!

    Perfect size to take to bed and read. Taschen book, as in German

    The reason I purchased this book was because I read the author's other book about the diary of Cleopatra. I found that to be fascinating and historically correct which is why I got Catherine the Great's diary, which is very topical as I am currently working with a colleague on a set of dictionaries started by Catherine the Great, The Great Academic Russian Dictionary, or GAD as it is known as. So far the book is very interesting and I am sure I will enjoy reading the rest of it as I love anything to do with history and especially Russian history. Anthony Bashford

    Interesting Subject

    All these books are interesting in many ways. Hold-your-attention-to-the-end is the rule. Well done.

    Another Wonderful Royal Diary

    I bought this for my soon to be nine year old daughter who has read almost all of the royal diaries. She said it was great and really loved certain parts. I wish this particular series had more books though. I know my daughter would be pleased to read more of them.
