The year is 1290 and the vehicle for storytelling is the girl's witty, irreverent diary. . . . Superb historical fiction. --School Library Journal, Starred </p><p>The period has rarely been presented for young people with such authenticity; the exotic details will intrigue readers while they relate more closely to Birdy's yen for independence and her sensibilities toward the downtrodden. Her tenacity and ebullient naiveté are extraordinary; at once comic and thought-provoking, this first novel is a delight. --Kirkus Reviews with Pointers<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Karen Cushman</b>'s acclaimed historical novels include <i>The Midwife's Apprentice</i>, which received the Newbery Medal.
