Catherine and the great journey

This book was written in 1743 Russia and is about a girl named Catherine and her journey though many countries. But her life is a mess and her mother calls her names like my poor ugly daughter.  She has to travel though some countries that have many diseases and she is about to be queen. I would recommend this book for ages 10 and up because some words are bit to hard to understand and some parts don't make allot of sense but overall it is a great book if you like history.
