5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful Historical Fiction for Jewish Kids,
This review is from: The Star and the Sword (Paperback)
I read this novel to my daughter over 7 years ago, and it's one of those books that has remained vivid in both of our imaginations after all this time. We read a LOT, and I'd have to put it in the top 5. We unfortunately lent it to someone & never got it back, so I'm thrilled to be able to find it again to share with my younger sons.

good book,
This review is from: The Star and the Sword (Paperback)
I really liked this book. portrayed the life of England's Jews very well. Especially with the references to all the Jews killed in York. I also liked the parts with Robin Hood.
