This is a charming tale of a daughter of a Norman landowner in Scotland in 1162 which is based on the stories of two traditional Scottish ballads. The main character Jenny struggles with the choice between being married to the heir to the Scottish throne and following her heart. This story is part historical fiction and part fantasy but has some mature themes and is suitable for seventh grade and above. (  ) Stuffy | Jan 7, 2007 |  Too questionable for children, too bland for adults. I have nothing against sex scenes, but why put one in a novel aimed at 12-year-olds?
