NOVEL SOCIETY
The year is 1350. Boy, a hunchbacked, sweet-natured goatherd,
is content in his quiet country life. But when a shadowy pilgrim
with a dangerous past arrives on the farm, his world is turned upside
down.
Secundus is a man on a mission, and upon first sight of Boy, enlists
him as his servant, ripping him away from tranquility and
plunging them both into a perilous medieval treasure hunt ... but
there is more to the pilgrim's quest than meets the eye.
An unforgettable middle-grade historical adventure, The
Book of Boy already feels like a classic.
Two unpredictable and moving twists elevate this adventure
into something truly special and unique.
Themes of loyalty, courage and self-acceptance prevail
in a story that's warm, wise and touchingly funny.
