Avi- Crispin: The Cross of Lead (2004) 3.5 Stars
One day Asta died and suddenly her son was
left alone. After finding out he was christened with a royal name, Crispin, he
finds himself on the run. Everyone wants him dead and he has no idea why.
Medieval England
is an intimidating place for a servant boy with no friends. Coming across a man
named Bear, may just have been the best thing that happened to him. At least
now he has someone looking out for him.
Starting off a little slow, it did pick up
the pace fairly quickly. It wasn’t ever really gripping until the end, but it
was interesting enough to keep me reading. I love this time period and found it
cool to see how they wound their way through the countryside. The characters
were captivating, although I am not sure why it took Crispin so long to figure
things out. The plot was good, but there weren’t a lot of twists. I did love
the ending though, it was very exciting and was a great conclusion of events.
