Crispin: The Cross of Lead Reviews
"A page turner to delight Avi's fans, it will leave readers hoping for a sequel." - PW
"The story is set in the years just prior to the Peasants' Revolt of 1381, and one of the secondary characters, the revolutionary priest John Ball, was a key historical figure. Most children will not know this, however, as there is no historical note to contextualize the story. This is a shame, as despite its flaws, this offering is nevertheless a solid adventure and could serve as the jumping-off point for an exploration into a time of great political upheaval." - Kirkus
"[A] meticulously crafted story, full of adventure, mystery, and action." - School Library Journal
"Exciting and true to the past, this novel is historical fiction at its finest." - VOYA

This book was a good book but, Avi has written better books in his time. Avi is my favorite author. I wish to meet him! I have tried to write books but, I'm not that good with grammar. Crispin is a little boring. I would never want to be a wolves head in my life.
