In his thirteenth year, Will Sparrow, liar and thief, becomes a runaway. On the road in this adventurous coming of age story, he encounters a series of con artists—a pickpocket, a tooth puller, a pig trainer, a conjurer—and learns that others are more adept than he at lying and thieving. Then he reluctantly joins a traveling troupe of "oddities," a found family of misfits including a dwarf and a cat-faced girl, holding himself apart from the "monsters" and resolving to be on guard against further deceptions. At last Will is forced to understand that appearances are misleading and that he has been his own worst deceiver. The rowdy world of market fairs in Elizabethan England is the colorful backdrop for Newbery medalist Cushmans new comic masterpiece.
This ebook includes a sample chapter of THE MIDWIFES APPRENTICE.
