This book is part of our Core C with Sonlight.
This was a fun short read that followed a boy as he learned to be a page in a Knight's castle. It is his diary from his first year in this position. Because it is written in diary form you only see glimpses which leaves some feeling of incompleteness, but because it is a year long there is a little bit of a circle.
This book does allow you to see the class dispute but on a much milder level than "Good Masters! Sweet Ladies!" did. It's also interesting to see it from a young man's perspective. The historical information was interesting and my boys enjoyed learning about knights and warfare. We compared what we were reading about to battles from "Lord of the Rings" and "The Chronicles of Narnia" which made it even more fun and helped them to understand what was being talked about in the book.
I'd personally give this book three stars but my boys really enjoyed it so they would likely give it four or five.
