Have you ever thought about what would happen if your mother died? You would think you'd mourn and simply move on with your life, but that just isn't the case for Crispin in __Crispin: Cross of Lead__. He's been declared a wolf's head, or in other words, he has a bounty on his head. Dodging capture and death at every turn, he meets a free man, Bear. Although at first Bear makes Crispin his servant, the relationship eventually transforms into a close friendship. Crispin must also discover the truth about his father - and himself - before it's too late. __Crispin: Cross of Lead__ is a noteworthy book filled with excitement and adventure as you race through the pages until the very end. While the realistic plot is almost completely predictable, it is still very worth the time to sit down and read. There was still one twist in the plot that I did not expect and possibly for you, too. Rating this book, I give it a 4 out of 5 stars, and once you read it, I hope you agree with me or even give it 5 stars. EmilioS-CMS

The book __Crispin__ is about a boy who doesn't have any parents that take care of him. He is a runaway and is blamed for murder and theft. The book was mediocre, but the story is not very surprising. You know what is going to happen as you read. The author is not very original. Anybody could have written it just as well; he just put it on paper. It is a very understandable book and a fairly easy book. I would suggest this book for a third or fourth grader. Overall the book was good and kept me reading, barely. DevinF-CMS

__Crispin__ is a book set in the Middle Ages. The main character is a young boy whose mother dies. He is then an orphan and must take care of himself. The steward of his village develops a grudge against him and declares him a wolf's head. He is forced to flee his village. He finds an amiable entertainer who takes him under his wing and teaches him many things. They travel all through the kingdom and end their journey in Great Wexley. This is where Crispin learns many things about himself and matures greatly. __Crispin__ is a phenomenal book to read. In regard to the theme of the book you can see that the book is about growing as a person and having faith in yourself. You can see this because in the beginning of the book Crispin doesn't believe he is anything at all, but at the end he believes in himself and has confidence. The conclusion of the book is marvelous. Crispin finally develops as a human being and takes matters into his own hands. One example is when he goes to save Bear by himself. Another example is when he doesn't let Aycliffe take control inside the palace. If you read this book I am sure that it will you will stay interested. Throughout the book you will find that you can predict what will happen next, but there are just enough surprises to keep you reading and guessing on the next climactic event. HaydenB-CMS
