The Secret in the Tower Summary

The Secret in the Tower by Andrew Beattie

A historical fiction book based on the famous story of The Princes in the Tower - perfect for children aged 9-14 years.

1485. Richard III is King of England. Henry Tudor's invasion looms.

Jack Broom thinks that war and politics have nothing to do with him. He is a simple apothecary's boy dreaming of becoming a surgeon - until soldiers mistake him for a boy of noble birth.

Narrowly avoiding being dragged to the Tower of London, Jack sets out on a perilous mission to find out who he truly is. With the help of his new friend Alice, he uncovers conspiracies, treason, and the deadly lengths people will go to for power.

The Secret in the Tower Reviews

An interesting take on one of the great mysteries of British royal history: what happened to the princes in the Tower? Andrew Beattie presents a new twist to the mystery, one that is thoroughly fun to read. This is one of those books that captures you from start to finish. I read it in 3 days, and that is because I intentionally paced myself. Set during the weeks leading up to the Battle of Bosworth Field, the main character Jack Broom discovers a huge secret that could impact who sits on the English throne. He also plays a critical role in what happens regarding that secret, along the way discovering what turns out to be his true identity. What made this enjoyable to read is that Beattie's twist, as far as I'm concerned, is actually plausible in some ways. It gave another layer to a topic that I have read and watched documentaries about many times over. Even though this is clearly geared toward a younger crowd, I as an adult loved it. I particularly appreciated the afterword, which gave historical clarity where needed.
