"History is alive with lunacies and injustices." So ends Sid Fleischman's 1987 Newbery Medal winning offbeat story of courage and loyalty. This one is a great example of those books that, although they don't preach or moralize or quote Scripture, are quite consistent with Christian values and worldview. To say nothing of what can happen when the heir to the throne is never spanked! 90 pages; Reading level = 4.8; A 4 for quality; 4 for acceptability.
