The book Crispin: Cross of
Lead by Avi, is a very intriguing book. One reason is because it keeps readers on edge, with its timely fashion and with the different decisions made by characters. Crispin is a young boy who just lost his mother and doesn't know what to do without her while some unfortunate events keep occurring. Some of the decisions that Crispin must make seem like too much for a boy his age to handle, but seem like the right ones. All in all, Crispin: Cross of Lead is a very excellent, well read book that is highly recommended.
