Daughter of Venice- Donna Jo Napoli
14 year old Donata is the Daughter of a Noble family. In the late 16th Century, there are strict rules for noble daughters. The noble daughters could not go outside of their palazo,house (unless it is for parties), while noble sons get to go outside whenever they please. And when they get older, the sons would get a college education, and the daughters would be sent to a convent. Donata thinks that this is not fair, so as she diguise herself as a boy and sneaks out of her palazo, she sees a whole different world outside her palazo. I enjoyed this book, although it was a little slow. I would rate it 3/5 stars and I think it would appeal to mostly girls.
