Crispin is a young boy whose Mom has died. Extremely upset, Crispin runs away from the funeral. On his travels, Crispin meets up with someone who pretends to be someone other than himself. This book has a dramatic ending that will surprise you. If you enjoy books by Avi, then you'll find this to be one of his best.

Reviewer:  Julia T. '11

This book is about a boy named Crispin who is accused of stealing something very important from his village church. The leader of the village, John A, wants to kill Crispin because he "stole" something, so he gets called a Wolf's head. That means that anybody anywhere can kill Crispin. So he runs away and meets someone by the name of Bear. Read the book to see if bear kills him, or let's him live.

Anyone who likes adventure books will  LOVE this book.
