The Book of Boy by Catherine Gilbert Murdock is a Newbery Honor winner for 2019, so I got it from the library. The book takes place in medieval France, following Boy, who has a hump on his back and an ability to talk to animals. He's often mocked by others, but when a pilgrim named Secondus comes to town, Boy becomes his servant as they begin a journey to find seven relics of Saint Peter.
This was an extremely odd book for me. I definitely think it was well written, but the story was just kind of weird. It took me awhile to get through it. I probably wouldn't have finished it, but I did since it was a Newbery.
Rating: * (1/3 = It was okay)
