Remember My Royalty
Their race is royal. But will they remember?
When Hamish McGregor and his sisters are forced to leave their home in the highlands of Scotland, they prepare to join their uncle in faraway Texas. Before leaving, they make an agreement to always remember that ‘s rioghal mo dhream, my race is royal.
However, they soon discover that remembering is not easy. For Hamish, forgetting his heritage lands him in the middle of a desperate revolution as the Texians fight for independence.
Catriona, proud and responsible, has no patience for her brother’s shortcomings until she too needs grace. And Ealasaid, an invalid facing the hardships of frontier life, struggles to live up to a still more important title: daughter of the King of kings.
As fighting surrounds and comes between them, will the McGregors fall or will they turn to the King for victory? Will they remember their royalty as well as the sacrifice of the brave men at the Alamo?

4 stars. Though I read about the Alamo in American History, I don't actually know much about it and was very curious to learn more. In the end, I'm still confused on all the politics and divided in my opinions, but I enjoyed how thorough this novel is about the subject. It actually reminded me a lot of the best parts of G.A. Henty's novels, except Christian! My favourite part was definitely the Scottish element—I loved the songs, the epigraphs, and the chapter titles drawn from song lyrics! The message was good, too, and the characters interested me; overall, this is a solid 550 page read and I definitely recommend it as a family read-aloud or middle-grade free-reading for both boys and girls, or anyone who enjoys Henty, Ballantyne, and other "boys adventure novels"!

This book over 500 pages (my hardcover copy is 509 plus front and back matter) is well worth the time invested—and the tears! The author clearly honored both her Scottish and Texan roots with this beautiful Texas Revolution story. Her voice was engaging and perfect for the vintage vibes of this book.
There was a superb balance between the battles (and other war things) and the family drama. It was precious that the three siblings each had their own faith journeys throughout the story. I especially loved that their lessons were different shades of the same theme (which I’ll keep secret so others may discover it as they read).
Absolutely no content concerns. The battles and injuries were written with a young adult or middle grade audience in mind, and they didn’t trigger my squeamishness in any way. Well done, Miss Griggs!
Five-star read. I cannot recommend this book highly enough!

I have been interested in this book since I first heard about it, and even though I had high hopes for it, it far surpassed expectations. Remember My Royalty is the best middle-grade historical fiction I've ever read. This is exactly the type of book I loved best at around 11 or 12. And now as an adult, it was just as gripping and well-written as I would have found it then. It truly is an 'all-ages' book in every sense - the main characters range from 11 to 16, and the themes, writing style, and story are highly compelling to children, teenagers, and adults alike.
Remember My Royalty combines Scotland and the Highland Clearances with the Texas Revolution and the Alamo. While the three main characters are fictional, almost all the other characters in the book, including the siblings' uncle, are real historical figures, famous and little-known heroes and ordinary people alike who fought in the war or were living in the area at the time. The author has done extensive research on all the people, places, and events of the time, and that research shines through every detail of the story.
I knew almost nothing about this part of history before reading the book, so at no point was I sure where the story would go. I learnt so much reading it, and the history was so well-presented that I felt as if I knew the real-life characters personally. I had actual chills almost the whole way through the last quarter of the book, that's how well it was written and how invested I was in the story. It covers the events leading up to the war, the siege of the Alamo, and the aftermath in fascinating detail. We see everything through the perspective of Hamish, a young Scottish immigrant fighting in the war and at the Alamo, and his sisters Catriona and Ealasaid, left behind in this new land of Texas with no family other than Hamish and their uncle, navigating life on the frontier and on the edge of the war, surrounded by danger and turmoil and for the most part having only rumours and vague reports of what is going on in the battles. Added to that, Ealasaid is an invalid, navigating bad health and the difficulties that come with the drastic change in climate. I loved that even though there is so much history and real events and people in the book, we never become detached from the main characters or their individual arcs, which are all so well-done. Also, I can't say that I preferred any POV over the others, which is unusual for me in a multi-POV book! I loved all three characters almost equally, and they were all realistic and deep characters. Also, all of the siblings were accurate to their ages in the time they lived in, in how they spoke, acted, and thought. It's rare to find a middle-grade historical fiction that doesn't make the characters too childish or act like modern-day children, but this book absolutely nailed it!
The whole book had an old-fashioned yet timeless feel to it which I LOVED. It was a lot like the adventure books written in the 1800s which I loved growing up, except only in the best ways. I think most modern readers would enjoy it even if older books weren't their thing. It often reminded me of the Little House on the Prairie series on the girls' side, and Hamish's story was reminiscent of G.A. Henty's books, but with more of a focus on the main character. The writing style, too, was like a mix of both those authors.
Each chapter title is a line from a song, for the most part Scottish folk and battle songs. Music plays a large role in the story, and one of my favourite parts of reading this book was getting to listen to each song as I read. The author has made a playlist on Youtube with many of the songs mentioned, and I highly recommend listening along as you move through the story! I loved all the Scottish references, from music to food to accents to traditions and so much more. The blend of Scottish and Texan history was so fascinating! I also liked that there was a clear difference in the characters' speech when they were speaking in Gaelic and when they were speaking English.
The invalid aspect also added to the story. There are so few good books for children and teenagers that feature characters who suffer health issues, especially Christian characters and the struggle that comes with that, and I really appreciated it here.
The themes were so good and well presented. Forgiveness, honour, courage in the great things of life and in the everyday, and remembering your earthly and spiritual heritage are just a few of the many themes that come together to create this rich, thought-provoking story.
Remember My Royalty is a compelling, fascinating, beautifully written historical fiction that boys and girls and adults of any age will all enjoy. If you love well-researched, easy-to-read historical fiction with strong Christian themes, flawed but highly likeable characters, Scottish and American history, siblings and strong family bonds, war stories that are suspenseful and true to life but never gory or overly violent, and a mix of adventure and slice of life, this book is perfect for you. And if you have children in your life aged approximately 10-14, who enjoy high-stakes yet slow-paced stories that don't shy away from deep topics and the hard things of life while at the same time never becoming too heavy, this is an absolute must-have. I know I will be getting a physical copy as soon as I can, and keeping it for any future children I might have as well as for myself!

Wholesome is the first word to come to my mind for this book. It was sweet, but didn't shy away from tough stuff. All three siblings struggle with guilt, and that was written so well and relatable!
And... I mean, it is the Alamo, so I was nervous about losing characters from the beginning and even more so as events fell into place!
There's historical facts and figures mixed in, and I enjoyed when names I recognized walked in.

A wonderful story, based on historical facts, with a lot of character building aspects. I now understand much more about the significance of the Alamo in American history. The author has done a fantastic job of intertwining history, family, and Christianity. Our loyalty and influence goes farther than we can imagine.
Read
February 10, 2026Remember My Royalty is a fascinating story rich with historical depth, faith, family, and values. I greatly enjoyed how each character in this story learned and grew while facing his or her own unique struggle. Each character’s journey was well-portrayed and edifying. I was on the edge of my seat during the climax portions just wondering how on earth the character was going to get out of THAT particular situation!
Overall, the level of historical immersion was excellent! It truly felt as though it was set during the actual Texas Revolution. The author did an amazing job of portraying all of the little details in a way that felt extremely realistic to the time period. It was also so much fun to find out that nearly every single character in this story was an actual historical person, and their roles in this story are plausible to their real character and history. While I don’t recommend reading it until after completing the story, the author note was one of my favorite parts and brought so much further depth to the book that wasn’t able to be contained in the story.
Above all, I loved how the spiritual messages in this book were portrayed. Every character was flawed, but every character was, in his or her own way, striving towards something greater, and (not to give anything away), the way that Christianity played into that was beautiful. The faith, prayers, and repentance beautifully weaved into the plot--not in an overwhelming way, but in a very natural and lovely way.
All in all, I recommend this book to fans of historical fiction, Christian fiction, G. A. Henty, and the Alamo/the Texas Revolution in general.

This was an excellent story and I really enjoyed it. The characters were interesting and easy to relate to, and I learned a lot about the Alamo which I hadn't known before! It felt like there was a lot of similar battle scenes and I sometimes got them confused but there is a timeline at the back of the book which helped me sort them all out. I loved all the three siblings, so it's hard to pick a favorite character, and I liked how a lot of historical figures played a part as well. This is definitely a story I'd recommend to my younger siblings to read to learn more about Texas history!

My Overall Thoughts: After participating in the launch party for Remember My Royalty, I was very eager to read it, and the story did not disappoint! I enjoyed the blend of history, an engaging storyline and characters, and Christian themes. This would be a great book for young Christian readers who enjoy historical fiction!
Plot: The plot of this story was well-developed and engaging. It was interesting reading a story about the Alamo as that is not a topic I have seen a lot of books about, and I didn't know that much about it personally.
Characters: I really enjoyed the characters in this book! The main characters, Ealasaid, Catriona, and Hamish, were all relatable in their own ways, and they all had distinct personalities and character arcs. I especially related to Elasaid and her quiet nature, but I also appreciated Catriona and her spunky personality and the growth of Hamish's character and the strength he showed later in the story. I also enjoyed the side characters, especially how many historical figures were included in the story. That was a neat way to learn more about the history of the Alamo!
Writing Style: I liked the writing style! It was a little slower than I prefer sometimes, as the book is quite long, but, overall, there was a good blend between description and action, and it helped me understand the characters and the setting well.
Themes: I appreciated the main theme of the book as the main characters sought to remember and live in light of their family name and Christ's name. I also liked how there were other lessons that the children learned throughout the story, such as forgiving others, doing our best for the Lord, sharing the Gospel, and the gift of salvation.
Content Notes: There are some descriptions of battles, but nothing graphic. There are some bad attitudes, unkindness, teenagers stealing from a shop, and other similar things, but all are clearly portrayed as negative, and there are consequences for those actions.

A stunning literary treasure by Hannah E. Griggs—a truly gifted author whose brilliant mind and exquisite artistry possess the rare power to completely transform how we experience history.
I was absolutely blown away by the sensational plot and unforgettable characters that drive this non-stop, emotional ride. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Texas Revolution, the story follows a group of siblings forced to emigrate, launching an age-appropriate yet wildly tumultuous journey you won’t be able to put down. Griggs’s meticulous research brings the era to life with flawless accuracy, using authentic colloquial language, routines and breathtaking sensory descriptions. There is a rare kind of literary magic present that blurs the line between fiction and reality. You become so deeply immersed that history breathes right before your eyes, like a thrilling, waking dream, which for me stands as the ultimate proof of extraordinary storytelling.
What truly elevates this narrative is how wonderfully it portrays the distinct, emotional perspectives of men, women, and children navigating the intense sadness and heartbreak of war. Moreover, most of the characters are real historical figures, which is incredible, and living through their struggles makes you feel entirely transported to that era.
Beyond the history, the narrative brims with invaluable spiritual truths discovered through individual hardships. Watching many characters encounter Christ—and witnessing the radical transformation that follows—serves as a beautiful celebration of faith. In fact, the entire prose stands as a powerful reminder to fix our gaze firmly upon the King of Kings and anchor our trust completely in Him through every season of life.
Altogether, it is an essential, mind-enriching must-read for middle graders, young adults, and everyone in between; exactly the kind of rare, brilliant book that will turn readers into lifelong history lovers. It perfectly balances educational authenticity with an emotionally gripping, hopeful narrative that injects deep trust in God into the reader's soul. I absolutely loved it and cannot recommend it highly enough!

Review of advance copy received from Author
I had the privilege of editing this book and enjoying the story in the process. I have so many favorite things about it! For one thing, it is historical fiction with a greater focus on the historical aspect than the fiction. Most of the characters in the book are real people from history, many of them little-known, now brought to life in the imaginations of those who read this book.
I also like the combination of Scottish history with the history of the Texas Revolution! Historical happenings from two parts of the world come together naturally into one story. While most of the book takes place in Texas, the Scottish culture infuses the whole story in a lovely way.
And of course, I love the characters! Characters are one of the main things that make a story for me, and there are so many good ones to love in this book. In their own way, each of the three protagonists draw you in. Uncail John. Tom. Summerlin. The Dickensons. So many people fighting their own battles while also giving of themselves for the good of the cause.
This is a story for all ages to enjoy. The storyline is gripping, and the history is woven naturally through so that you come away with a greater knowledge of the events while having thoroughly enjoyed yourself. If you have even a slight interest in Scottish history, the Texas Revolution, or pioneer life, then this may just be a book you need on your shelf. I certainly need it on mine!

A sweeping historical epic from the Scottish Highlands to Texas!
An ambitious, beautifully written historical novel that seamlessly bridges two incredible settings—the rugged highlands of Scotland and the dangerous frontier of Texas during its fight for independence. Following the McGregor siblings across the ocean into the turmoil of the Texas Revolution makes for an immersive, deeply emotional read. The contrast between holding onto their Clan MacGregor heritage (’s rioghal mo dhream) and navigating the gritty realities of the Alamo era is brilliantly executed. A gripping, high-stakes saga that historical fiction readers will adore!

I loved how this story was steeped in history, and so much of it that I didn't know. Yes, I'd learned about the Alamo in school, but...
I liked how we followed the siblings from their homeland of Scotland on their journey to a new life and a new land.
Highly recommend for lovers of historical, faith-based stories!
