Crispin: The Cross of Lead


Overall, I really enjoyed reading Crispin: The Cross of Lead. It was unlike anything I had ever read before. "Asta's Son" is all Crispin has ever been called until he meets Bear. At first, it seems like Bear is going to be the antagonist, but as the days go by, he turns into Crispin's best friend. I really like how their relationship changes.  I think it is really amazing how Crispin goes from having a strong dislike towards Bear to risking his life to save him. Their friendship goes stronger throughout the book.  I don't know why Bear kept the words on Crispin's cross of lead a secret from Crispin.  I would not require the students to read this book.  I would ask students who read it to do a book report on it.
