Even though this book is geared toward the middle school grades, it's historical fiction genre appealed to me. Well, that and the fact that it was a free eBook through our public library.
Robin is a boy, destined to become a knight like his father. His desire is to serve his king. However, he becomes ill and loses the use of his legs. He is rescued by a caring monk who nurses him back to health. Although he regains some use of his legs with the help of crutches, he has no hopes of becoming a knight. How will he fulfill his calling to serve his king?
This book was an enjoyable read and sets an example how we can all achieve greatness while overcoming obstacles. It is a good book for disability sensitivity. I feel this would be a great book for my children to read and would be a great addition to our middle school's curriculum.
