This is Mr. Fluffy. He is the best cat ever. I miss him. |
P.S. I miss Mr. Fluffy. Have I told you that yet?
Now, the Red Horse. I read this sweet book called The Blood Red Horse. It takes place during the third Crusade. A boy named William get's this beutiful and fast horse, and names it Hosanna. Then King Richard calls for another Crusade, and so Willam, Gavin, (Williams brother) Sir Thomas, (Williams dad)have to leave De Granville (The manor that they own) and join the Third Crusade.
What I thought: It was a pretty good book. It was fun to read some cool history and have a story in it. It was interesting to see what the Christians believed and the Islamic believed (there are some chapters with a Islamic boy). Then at the end how Hosanna brought them together to do something and... I shouldn't give it away, so i'll stop there.
Rating: I would give it three and a half stars.
Warnings: There are some bloody and horrible stuff that happened in the book, that actually happened back then. (like Black death and how bad it was on a ship and stuff) But besides that there is no warnings.
Setting: The Holy Land (Israel area) and Europe
Pages: 277
Series?: Yes. It is the first book of the De Gravilles Trilogy.
Author: K. M. Grant

Mr. Fluffy, you say?! Oy! I KNEW I saw a cat like that when I was visiting a remote village warning them about the incoming dragon attack...
ReplyDeleteEew sick the Black Plague is so gross.... we learned about that in school! Yuck! We also learned about the Middle Passage (I think that's what it's called) with graphic pictures.... now that was gross. Don't look it up.
ReplyDeleteReally? Huh, maybe I won't look up the Middle Passage then. The Black Plague is really depressing though, I know that.
