She has read the one on Marie Antionette, Isabella of Spain, and Cleopatra, there are many more, so I would check out the series to see it there is one that would be interesting for your trip. My dd liked the Princess Diaries that feature a princess from history, they are written as if it was in fact the princesses diary, written as a young teen. I would be very guarded about what adult historical fiction you find, some is NOT suitable for children, often spiced up with alot "bodice ripping" LOL, although of course there is some excellant stuff out there. It was hard to find suitable historical fiction for her last year( although we did find The Thief Lord too, and she liked it).
