I read this book in one evening. It was absolutely gripping; it even stopped me from revising which probably isn't a good thing but it's a testament to the quality of the book.
I don't really have much to say, except that I found myself close to tears at the end. It was so beautiful, and for those with an interest in (or indeed a despair of) the Middle Eastern crisis, and the war raging between different faiths, it will strike a chord. Wonderfully written, with loveable characters and a story you will never forget.

Crusade is a terrific read. It's the story of two boys - one in the Holy Land and one heading for the Holy Land as part of Richard the Lionheart's Crusade. Gradually their lives converge and they meet. It's a life-changing meeting. This author is always so good at historical detail, and I learnt such a lot about a conflict which has all kinds of similarities and links with what's going on in the Middle East today. Very well worth reading for the excellent story as well as the light it sheds.

Crusade is a moving tale of the crusades from several differing viewpoints. The main child characters are a Christian lad and a Muslim lad andthe plot brings their2 worlds together in a spell-binding and moving way. From the opening pages their destinies are cleverly intertwined. I would thoroughly recommend this book to any teacher teaching in years 5,6 or 7, it covers the historical period and an interesting conflict in a caring and thought provoking way.
