Catherine, Called Birdy by Karen Cushman

NOW A MAJOR MOVIE STREAMING ON AMAZON PRIME. A funny coming-of-age novel about a fourteen-year-old girl's fight for freedom and right to self-determination in medieval England. Catherine's in trouble. Caught between a mother who is determined to turn her into the perfect medieval lady and a father who wants her to marry her off to much older and utterly repulsive suitor. Luckily, Catherine has a plan. She has experience outwitting suitors and is ready to take matters into her own hands . . . Karen Cushman's Catherine, Called Birdy is the inspiration for Prime Video's medieval comedy film directed by Lena Dunham, starring Bella Ramsey and Andrew Scott.

Kennedy University in San Francisco) -particularly in the lives of ordinary people who lived at other times. She won the prestigious Newbery Medal in 1995 for The Midwife's Apprentice. Catherine, Called Birdy is her YA novel set in medieval Britiain.
