Sinopsis
Pagan's Crusade is the first of five books in the Pagan Chronicles. ;'Humour, romance, adventure, violence - who would have thought Medieval Jerusalem could be so much fun?'- Lili Wilkinson, Centre for Youth LiteratureWham! So here I am, standing in a sea of dirt, with a big mad Templarlobbing rocks at my head. Wham! Like some kind of martyr. Wham! He throws like a catapult.'All right, Pagan, that's enough.' (I should damn well think so.) 'Do you see what your problem is?'Wait - don't tell me. You are.It's twelfth-century Jerusalem, the time of the Crusades. Shrewd and scrappy Pagan has been plucked from the streets to work for Lord Roland, a Templar knight. Set against a background of mounting tension as Saladin's infidels close in on the Holy City, Pagan's Crusade is an exciting and exuberant taleof medieval adventure.Catherine Jinks masterfully intertwines thrilling action with a deeply personal story as Roland emerges as both mentor and friend for the orphaned Pagan. An engaging, moving and thoroughly satisfying experience.'What a romp! Not since Don Quixote took up with Sancho Panza has a knight had a squire like Pagan Kidrouk.' - Voice of Youth Advocates
Reseñas
El Jul 20 2012, NieFeng_XII dijo:
The narration is smart and entertaining, complimenting the actual seriousness of the plot in itself. It might be introduced as a book for children, but the story might also appeal to an adult reader's taste (like mine). The first person view creates a vivid perception of every situation the main character is into, thus creating a visual environment for the reader to mentally explore. However, the narrator's implied sarcasm might not be appropriate for a book for children--it might suggest making fun of other people by calling them names behind their back, not the sort of moral lesson a parent would want his/her young to develop.
