This book is one of the best books I've ever read!!!!
Crispin is a book that my teacher read to us in class. It is a very long chapter book, but it is very interesting. It can be confusing if you don't understand the vocabulary words, you have to really listen to them, but I think it's wonderful!
Okay, so, Crispin (The Cross of Lead) has more than one series. This happens to be the one my teacher read to us. The society the boy lives in is very different because it is set in the 1300's when there were kings and queens and stuff.
Book Summary: Asta's son, a poor peasant dies, and the boy flees the town of Stromford after being falsely accused of a crime he didn’t commit. When he escapes, he meets Bear, the strange and fascinating juggler who fills Crispin's head with new ideas about freedom, about God, about human beings' purpose on earth. Together, they come to Great Wexley, a large town where Crispin confronts Aycliffe, the servant of Lord Furnival who has ordered his death. In the process, Crispin learns about his history while at the same time breaking free from that history to become a truly free man.
If you ever see it in the library or someplace else, I recommend you buy it or check it out then read it! It has really good life lessons and I think you'd enjoy it
