Read when I was a kid, and re-read this year during my lunch breaks. It's a fine wee tale; Birdy is a spunky realistic character even if the setting and tone may be inaccurate. I figure this got more than a fair few kids interested in Medieval History. The kind of book I'd like to pass down to my own kids, should I ever have some.

I love Birdy's curious nature and her desire to learn. I'd have adored this as a kid.

Always enjoy Karen Cushman's writing. The second book I have read by her. As good as the first. Classic.

A nice young adult/middle grade book about a young girl coming of age. I found myself relating to Birdy while also getting frustrated with her, as I think any adult reading this book would. She grows and matures throughout the book and it would be a great book for girls around Birdy’s age, 14.

I know I read this...but I should probably give it a reread since I can't remember anything. hahahaha
