Editorial Reviews

Gr 4-8-This Newbery Medal winning story, set in medieval times, is about a boy who learns his own strength when he saves the castle and discovers there is more than one way to serve his king.

School Library Journal

A poignant story, full of action, and a strongly painted canvas of the times as well.” —The New Yorker

“One has a feeling of the authenticity of the pageantry and atmosphere of medieval England...the illustrations are beautifully handled.” —Kirkus Reviews
