Amazing
Crispin by Avi is an amazing book that you should really consider reading. It has a lot of plot twists and shows you what the middle ages were like back then. Avi really shows detail and emotion on how Crispin is feeling. It's like as if you were there with him. Though, there's a lot of bloody violence. There's a lot of jaw-dropping deaths in there too. Some parts were funny. Crispin will probably be one of the best books you would ever read. You should really consider reading it.

Crispin: the Cross of Lead by: Avi; Review
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.

Crispin: Cross of Lead Review
The novel Crispin by Avi is a brilliantly written book, because it captures yet informs you about the life of a peasant during the Middle Ages while telling a story about a boy seeking the truth. The book takes place in 15th century England, and is told through the eyes of a young peasant boy who is called Asta’s Son. He is looked down upon by everyone around him, and is considered nothing more than an outcast. Everything was manageable, until the fateful day when his whole world was turned upside down. Now the young boy must turn his back on everything he has ever known, to seek the truth of his parents and past. This novel will inform you about the way of life during the Middle Ages. Crispin is a fascinating story about a boy’s adventure through England.

Crispin Review
The novel, Crispin: The Cross of Lead by Avi, is an adventurous story because it is full of thrill and unexpected turns. The setting of the Middle Ages and descriptions are described well which makes the story even better. Although the story’s plot is a little boring in the beginning, the author certainly makes up for it later on in the book. In the novel, the characters are well described and the author makes their personalities fit the plot. The novel includes a great theme that fits the story well and develops throughout it. Besides that, the novel’s ending isn’t that great compared to the rest of it. In conclusion, Crispin: The Cross of Lead, by Avi, is a great book with a great plot, and is fit to a reader with an interest of the Middle Ages.
