Because I read this years ago, and I have no idea if I would actually rate it two stars if I had read it later on. I read it when I was in middle school, and even though I liked it somewhat, I didn't fully understand it or enjoy it that much. The two stars are for how much I liked it then. I have no idea if I might like it better at an older age. And I'm sure actually has merit, no matter what I thought, so I'm really glad some of my friends enjoy it! ( ) Hugh is taken by his father (who is fleeing England on charges of treason) to live with the monks at the Abbey at Glastonbury. He finds a happy home there among the scribes and scholars, and makes friends with another young resident and an old, crazy hermit. Between the three of them, they stumble into a search for the Holy Grail, which they believe to be hidden on the monastery grounds. A solid entry in the Newbery Honor Book ranks, with interesting characters and a fair mystery. no reviews | add a review
