2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Acclaimed storyteller and Newbery medalist, National Book Awardwinner, and Laura Ingalls Wilder award recipient Katherine Paterson breathes new life into this classic tale of action, adventure, and romance. Raised in the wilderness, Parzival knows nothing of his destiny as the Grail Knight--the one who is fated to seek the sacred vessel of hope and eternal life. To succeed in his quest, Parzival must struggle against countless obstacles. His triumphant story is one that will move readers to joy and despair, laughter and tears.

Pickpick

I‘ve had this book for years and enjoyed several of Paterson‘s books over the years; this one did not disappoint. Some situations were so absurdly funny, others sad, and I was surprised at some of the Christian themes within the book, but that‘s true to the medieval text her book was based on. The author‘s postscript gives historical info which made me appreciate the story even more. Nice intro to Arthurian lore for young readers. #readathon

This book has been on my shelf for years - an interesting blend of contemporary author with a new perspective on a story hundreds of years old. #readathon
