The Short Knife by Elen Caldecott

YOUNG READER REVIEW:

It was amazing! The book is a puzzle that the reader has to solve, aided with clues until the very end when all is revealed and yet the future is uncertain. The character of Mai is interesting, her adventures, sorrows, triumphs, all become the readers as they follow her through England in 485 AD! It was also very interesting to me to find out more about the ‘dark ages’ as I never knew a lot about them, and have realised it was a very interesting time. All in all, I loved it! Rating: 5/5.
