Plot[ edit ] In A. England, a year-old boy, known only as Asta's Son, lives as a peasant in the village of Stromford under a man named John Aycliffe. His village is part of the territory of the feudal Lord Furnival, which, in Furnival's absence, is under the control of the steward, John Aycliffe. When his mother dies, Asta's Son is left alone, as he has no other known relatives. Shortly afterwards, Aycliffe falsely accuses him of theft, and declares him a Wolf's Head, which means he is not considered human anymore and anyone may kill him. Aycliffe also offers a large reward one pound for his death. Asta's Son turns to the village priest, Father Quinel, his only friend. He shows Father Quinel a lead cross that his mother gave him before death.
The language is so different. So he gets the way the characters are talking, but the way the language is in the entire book really puts you there, and I love that.
Review ARTICLE
Marcy: It is. I mean, a lot of times I like an author because they have the same voice, right? And then I really like that voice Avs I just want more of it. So I read a different book that might have a different topic, but it has that same voice. He has a different voice for every single book.
Jennie: It really is, but I think that there is something amazing about the high quality of all of his books.

All of them are high quality. Marcy: I think, too, part of his appeal is that he is so thoughtful about his approach. He just builds the world, which is one of the things that I appreciate Criss most. Jennie: Yes. So I would like to say, though, that I reluctantly really ended up liking this book. Marcy: Reluctantly… why?

Jennie: I tried to start it several times, and I just kept putting it down. I felt like it was almost Newbery bait. I was like, oh, of course, this is an important book by an important author, so of course it won the Newbery that year. And then once I did, I was flabbergasted because it just swept me away.
I did think at first, this is of course a period book. But once I got past that first chapter, I was absolutely swept away, and I can see why it got the top honor.
