WB Price: $12.95
"Asta's son" is all he's ever been called. The lack of name is
appropriate, because he and his mother are but poor peasants in
fourteenth-century medieval England. But this 13-year-old boy who thought
he had little to lose soon finds himself with even less -- no home, family, or
possessions. Accused of a crime he did not commit, he has been declared a
"wolf's head." That means he may be killed on sight, by anyone. If he
wishes to remain alive, he must flee his tiny village. All the boy takes with
him is a newly revealed name -- Crispin -- and his mother's cross of lead. His
journey through the English countryside is amazing and terrifying especially his
encounter with Bear, a huge and possibly mad man who makes him his servant.
Though Bear promises to protect Crispin, the boy is being relentlessly pursued.
Why are his enemies so determined to kill him? Crispin is gradually drawn right
into his enemies' fortress where -- in a riveting climax -- he must become a
different person if he is to save Bear's life and his own.He discovers that by
losing everything, he has gained the most precious gift of all: a true sense of
self. Award: Winner of the 2003 Newbery Medal ;19.25 cms L x 13.46 cms W (0.28
