She was a perfect baby, and she had a perfect name. Chrysanthemum.
Chrysanthemum loved her name—until she started school.
A terrific read-aloud for the classroom and libraries!

 Red Chrysanthemum
Rowland's 11th 17th-century Japanese historical (after 2005's The Assassin's Touch) is even more of a page-turner than its predecessors. Sano Ichiro has risen through the ranks from his position as the shogun's special investigator to the powerful station of chamberlain, but the shift in his duties has not shielded him from political opponents. He faces his greatest crisis yet when his terrified pregnant wife, Reiko, is discovered naked and blood-covered beside the corpse of a nobleman suspected of treason. |
