Have you ever read a bad Avi book? I have not. this is about the best Avi book. It is about a boy who has been preclaimed a wolf head, anyone may kill him. he needs to know why. He gets a lead cross, it has something written on it that may answer some questions but he can not read nor write.

I absolutely love this book, it shows you have to be loyal and throughout the whole story, Asta's Son (as Crispin is called before he reveals his true name), keeps a promise throughout the whole story. Crispin promises, Bear, his apprentice,and a juggler(or so you think) that he will protect him every way that Bear has protected Crispin, by saving him at the peak point of his death!

"Crispen", by Avi, was a good book overall, but rather depressing. After his mother died, Asta's Son, a serf without a name or a past, is suddenly declaired a 'wolf's head' for a crime he did not commit. His only friend, a Catholic priest, is murdered, and he is forced to flee for his life. As he journeys towards a city where he might eventually gain his freedom, he is enslaved by a man named Bear, who teaches Asta's Son to be independant, and also helps him discover his past.
'Crispen' was a good book, but because its main plot deals with illigitimacy, it is more appropriate for an older audience than the one for which it was originally intended.
