Crispin: Cross of Lead
by Avi
Recommended by: Andrew M.
A boy all alone, his mother dead, his only friend, the priest, dead, and his father who is claimed to have died in a great famine. This is what happened to Crispin. Of course he only just found out his name is Crispin, but why such a high name for such a lowly servant? He doesn't know. He is shunned from his village, pronounced a wolf's head, not even human, because of something he didn't do. So while running away he meets his new "master", a huge, jolly man everyone calls "Bear". Find out how everything unfolds and the story behind Crispin's unusual name in this book.
