2003 Newbery Medal
Falsely accused of theft and declared a "wolf's head" (whom any man may kill), humble, pious Crispin flees his feudal village. Taken in as an apprentice by an itinerant juggler called Bear, Crispin learns about music and mummery, about freedom and questioning fate, and about his own mysterious parentage. Avi writes a fast-paced, action-packed adventure comfortably immersed in its fourteenth-century setting.

The son of Asta is horrified when his mother dies but on top of that he is proclaimed a "wolf's head" for a crime he didn't do. Along the path of escaping, he is forced to become a slave by a crazed man named Bear. This story is perfect for adventure and thrills.
It was greatly worded and the book kept me hooked.
