A medevil story

The Winter Hare is a story about a boy growing up in the Middle Ages. It's a great book for those who love knights, swords, armor, and battles. The book is about a boy growing up and is accepted for an opportunity for knighthood but he must pass tests in order to prove his worthiness. This book is filled with every aspect that a great book should have. This book is great for kids. It has an intriguing plot and includes words that both kids and adults are familiar with. I suggest it for kids who are 9-14 years old.

A great Historical-Fiction Book

This is a great novel--it has something for everyone

This is a good historical novel. I learned a lot about Medieval times from it. I would recommend this story to anyone, not just people who like Medieval stories. It is good, exciting, suspenseful, sad, and funny. I liked the time Will received two puppies, one who he called Uther Pendragon, and was promptly piddled upon. As well, the Wallingford family provides a warm and comic air to the more serious part of the story. It is a good read.
