Newbery Medal. One of the best books I have ever read! Crispin will lead you to world where cruelty and deceit lurks in every corner, but compassion prevails.
Great read along for boys
LOV IT!
this is one of the best medieval books i have ever read kept me wanting to read more in my top 5 best books!
A Publishers Weekly and New York Times best seller, this book is a combination historical fiction, mystery and coming of age tale filled with details of life in the Middle Ages; best suited for good readers in grades four-seven.
Though designed for young adults, you just might find that you want to read this book after your son or daughter finishes it. It is easy to fall in love with a hero like Crispin whose tale is set in the Middle Ages. It combines the best elements of mystery, growing up novel, and historical fiction.
2003 Newbery Medal winner, New York Times bestseller, Publisher's Weekly bestseller - Great book for late elementary school readers (or adults who want a quick afternoon read!) A little adventure, a little history, a great story.
