Royal Diaries series.
Between her tenth and twelfth birthdays, Victoria secretly recounts in her diary her daily activities and her dislike of a "Certain Person" (Sir John Conway, her mother's controlling advisor). Victoria's character is engaging, the villains detestable; an epilogue tells how she became queen at eighteen, dashing Sir Conway's hopes of power. Black-and-white archival photos, a family tree, and list of characters are appended.
