    Girl in a Cage by Jane Yolen and Robert J. Harris
    When Robert de Brus declared himself King of Scotland, King Edward of England waged war against Robert de Brus and everyone who was close to him. Robert de Brus' eleven year old daughter Marjorie gets captured, and King Edward, known as Longshanks, decides to imprison her in a cage, where she is kept for two weeks. The cage is in Lanercost, England, where he is staying. Longshanks enjoys taunting his young captive, but she consistantly stands against him.
    Girl in a Cage is told from Marjorie's point of view. Chapters alternate between the time of Marjorie's captivity, and from the story of how she came to be in captivity. The story is based on the actual events, but it is not entirely true to history.
    Happy reading.
