Crispin:
The Cross of Lead by Avi--Winner
Genre-jumping author Avi clocks in here with his 50th book, Crispin:
The Cross of Lead, an action-packed historical narrative that follows the
frantic flight of a 13-year-old peasant boy across 14th-century England.
After being declared a "wolf's head" by his manor's corrupt steward
for a crime he didn't commit (meaning that anyone can kill him like a common
animal--and collect a reward), this timid boy has to flee a tiny village
that's the only world he's ever known. But before our protagonist escapes,
Avi makes sure that we're thoroughly briefed on the injustices of feudalism--the
countless taxes cottars must pay, the constant violence, the inability
of a flawed church to protect its parishioners, etc. Avi then folds in
the book's central mystery just as the boy is leaving: "Asta's son," as
he's always been known, learns from the village priest that his Christian
name is Crispin, and that his parents' origins--and fates--might be more
perplexing than he ever imagined.
Providing plenty of period detail (appropriately gratuitous for the
age group) and plenty of chase-scene suspense, Avi tells a good story,
develops a couple of fairly compelling characters, and even manages to
teach a little history lesson. (Fortunately, kids won't realize that they're
learning about England's peasant revolt of 1381 until it's far too late.)
