|  | Catherine, Called Birdy by Jenny Sterlin, Karen Cushman
Catherine, a feisty, outspoken and most unladylike 14-year-old living in the Middle Ages, chronicles her life over one year in a diary given to her by her brother in an attempt to make her more ladylike. Alas, alack, the plan does not work, but one does get to see what life in the middle ages was like, and how woman are subjected to a life full of dull tasks. Readers will root for Catherine (called Birdy because of the birds she keeps in her room) as she thwarts suitors and tries to find her life on her own. AUTHOR: Jenny Sterlin, Karen Cushman
