In the novel Crispin the Cross of Lead by Avi this book is good to read because it has action and it is amusing to read. It was amusing to read because the main character was in trouble and was running away. Another reason why it was good is that there was parts of the book that had action. The next reason is that there was some mystery to what one of the main characters was doing. One other reason is that there were some funny things in the book that the main characters said. The last reason of why this book is good is because it gets your brain to think of what happens next.

Crispin: Cross of Lead- Mrs. Hibler's class
Crispin, by Avi, was an interesting, informative novel, because it allowed you to see the Middle Ages from a different point of view. The novel explains the hardships of being a peasant in Medieval times, and having no rights or freedoms to your name. For example, when Crispin is blamed for stealing from John Aycliffe, he has no opportunity to share his side of the story. This book has its good and bad points. At times, the book was uninteresting and dull (mainly towards the beginning), but once you get into the book, it becomes adventurous and exciting. The characters are full of life and personality, and the book has many plot twists. In conclusion, Crispin, by Avi, was an interesting, informative novel, because it allowed you to see the Middle Ages from a different point of view.

Crispin Review
The novel Crispin, by Avi, is full of adventure, action, and plot twists that keep readers on their toes, making it a great book to read. It shows readers the Middle Ages from a perspective that they've never seen before: a serf's. And from this point of view, it explains the hardships and struggles of being a peasant with no land, money, freedoms, or rights to rely upon. Throughout the book, Crispin is faced with immense persecution, very few rights, and great poverty, as well as a burning desire to discover who he truly is. The book had many examples of loyalty, friendship, and self-sacrifice, as well as the usual Medieval torture, oppression, and death. It could be uninteresting at parts, especially in the beginning when there was little happening, and, like most books, it also could be hard to get into. However, overall, Crispin by Avi is a great, interesting, and imaginative story that will educate readers about the life of a peasant during the Middle Ages, but not without adventure, action, and plot twists.

Crispin Review
The novel, Crispin: The Cross of Lead by Avi, is an adventurous story because it is full of thrill and unexpected turns. The setting of the Middle Ages and descriptions are described well which makes the story even better. Although the story’s plot is a little boring in the beginning, the author certainly makes up for it later on in the book. In the novel, the characters are well described and the author makes their personalities fit the plot. The novel includes a great theme that fits the story well and develops throughout it. Besides that, the novel’s ending isn’t that great compared to the rest of it. In conclusion, Crispin: The Cross of Lead, by Avi, is a great book with a great plot, and is fit to a reader with an interest of the Middle Ages.

Crispin
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.
