Is it just me or does the Newbery committee seem to like books set in the Middle Ages? I have not gotten to this one yet.

This sounds like an interesting book.

My daughter and I just read “The Tale of Despereaux” together and we absolutely loved it. There was a bookmark in the book advertising the movie, which comes out later this year. Can’t wait!

Ahhhhhhh. Thank you Carrie. I couldn’t place where I knew the author’s name from. I read “Catherine, Called Birdy” a year or two ago.

Thanks for the review Natasha. I picked up “Tale of Despereaux” today on your recommendation. I’ve only read the back cover so far, but it looks interesting.

My daughter has read two of Cushman’s books – “Catherine, Called Birdy” and “The Ballad of Lucy Whipple” and enjoyed them both very much. I’ll have to recommend this one to her, too.

I’ve read this! Several years ago. I think I was a bit disappointed in it, but it was interesting as you said, to read about the practice in medieval times.

I really liked this book, although it took me a while to get into it. Good review!
