Reading Minute

I recently read the novel Crispin by Avi. This book is about a boy named Crispin's journey from town to town after being declared a "Wolf's Head." The book starts with his mom and his priest dying, two people he was close to. He was blamed for the priest's death so anybody who saw Crispin was allowed to kill him. He abandons his home searching for a safe place to live when he meets a man named Bear. Bear takes him in and they travel together as performers. When they reach England, Crispin finds out he is a prince. After receiving this good news the steward from his hometown finds him and corners him with his other soldiers. Crispin narrowly escapes with Bear by killing the steward and the book ends as they leave together and return home.
