This book was about a boy who lived in the Middle Ages. His name is Robin whose parents had to leave to do some things and left him with a maid. Robin is crippled and doesn’t like the maid. He scares her away by throwing porridge in her face. Brother Luke a monk comes to Robin’s house and takes Robin to his monastery.

While at the monastery, Robin learns to swim with his arms because his legs are crippled. Later, he receives a letter from his father telling him to come to the castle where he was fighting the Welsh. It was a long journey. Robin, Brother Luke, John-go-in-the-Wynd, and a horse went on the journey. It's a long and fierce journey because Robin had to hike on crutches a long distance, and he also had to sleep in a log because it was raining.

This book was not very good. I wouldn’t recommend this book unless you like books on Middle Ages. The end of the book was really not that good and I thought it was one of the worst books I ever read in my life.
