The Children's Crusade by Henry Treece
3.0
adventurous informative lighthearted fast-paced

I was intrigued by the vague historic account of The Children's Crusade by European Christians to establish a second Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem in the Holy Land in the early 13th century.

This fictionalized account is based on the sparse historic accounts available.  It is a very pedestrian account full of cliches and although it tries to stay true to details available, does not deserve a higher rating.  Still, interesting reading.
