Crispin: The Cross of Lead


Avi. Set in 14th century England a young, nameless, fatherless boy sets out to learn his true identity after his mother died and he was wrongly accused of stealing and now is hunted. Along the way he he meets Bear who is a very strong character in this story.... and the adventures begin. There is a real sense of how life must have been in feudalistic England.....extremely hard for the poor. There is mystery, suspense and some violence.
