I found this title in a Best Kids' Books list & was interested enough to buy it since my library didn't have it & I thought it'd have lasting power. It actually exceeded my expectations! It tells us about life in the Middle Ages through the eyes of a book illuminator's daughter learning the trade. It is in her voice, with medieval-inspired syntax & vocabulary that's just the right level of challenging. Engaging, informative & seriously researched.
