The Seeing Stone by Kevin Crossley-Holland
4.0
Mixing myth and history, The Seeing Stone tells the story of a young boy, Arthur, who longs to know what his life will hold.
I really enjoyed the mixture of legend and actual Medieval day to day life. I feel like this is a good educational book for someone interested in medieval history, while still being compelling with an interesting story.
I was not a fan of the short journal-entry like structure of the story, but that was about all that I didn’t like about this book. I enjoyed the characters and the depth of the story, and am interested in reading the sequel. Though the story was predictable, like most YA novels, it was still enthralling.
