Crusader King, a book you'll read again and again!
I've just finished reading "Crusader King" for at least the tenth time, and I can't think of any other book so enjoyable. (My son's friend said he has read it 18 times!) It's the true story of one of the most hidden heroes in the history of Christiandom, the brave young Leper-King Baldwin IV. The author did a wonderful job making this story appealing for young readers (ages about 12 to 16, although several adults I know have borrowed my copy and found themselves reading till two in the morning, crying their eyes out!) I can't see why this book is not better known. If you like a fast-paced read full of excitement, and very inspiring, you have to try this one. (Some bits are pretty "teen-agey" but the author obviously did that on purpose.) I don't think your kids will be disappointed.
