Omschrijving
A truly special and unique historical adventure - perfect for readers aged 9+!
' ... an extraordinary mixture of the historical and fantastic.'THE GUARDIAN
'This is a fascinating tale which brings a quest, scuffles, dastardly thieves, and twists galore together in a story which brings alive the culture and people of the time.'HISTORICAL NOVEL SOCIETY
The year is 1350. Boy, a hunchbacked, sweet-natured goatherd, is content in his quiet country life. But when a shadowy pilgrim with a dangerous past arrives on the farm, his world is turned upside down.
Secundus is a man on a mission, and upon first sight of Boy, enlists him as his servant, ripping him away from tranquility and plunging them both into a perilous medieval treasure hunt ... but there is more to the pilgrim's quest than meets the eye.
- An unforgettable middle-grade historical adventure, The Book of Boy already feels like a classic.
- Two unpredictable and moving twists elevate this adventure into something truly special and unique.
- Themes of loyalty, courage and self-acceptance prevail in a story that's warm, wise and touchingly funny.
- Catherine Gilbert Murdock is an acclaimed author in the US, but this will represent her UK debut.
