Book Synopsis

Two boys from opposing worlds come face to face in this thought-provoking historical adventure from a highly acclaimed author.

Review Quotes

"Steeped in historical detail, the adventure immerses readers in the daily life of the armies of the Crusades. . . . The different views on medicine . . . are particularly fascinating. The moral of looking to understand another worldview, particularly between Christians and Muslims, is timely in spite of its historical context." --School Library Journal
