England is home to Luke, a young man. Right now is a time of dwarfs, erupting volcanoes, and fighting. Luke is disappointed when he does not make it into the Contest, so when young Matthew Grant is taken ill with a fever, Luke realizes that he will be the one fighting instead. Don’t read this if you get scared a lot. It is full of adventure and excitement, a great story for nine years to young adults. I rate this 4/5.
I was excited to see that you've read this book, Anna! It was a book that's sat on my shelf at home and I hadn't read it myself but thought your class might like it. I do love reading those stories of historical times, with some fantasy thrown in as well.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to see what other books I have!
