Avi's action-packed adventure, Crispin, transports us back to 14th Century England, where a young serf on the run from his miserable past comes to discover not only his true identity but a sense of self-worth.

Avi's latest novel is a superb combination of mystery, historical fiction, and a coming-of-age tale... Breathlessly paced, beautifully written, and filled with details of life in the Middle Ages, this compelling novel is one of Avi's finest.-Book Report
