Adam of the Road

(www.goodreads.com)

πŸ“š Β The winner of the Newberry Medal in 1943, Adam of the Road (β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…) is the simple yet enjoyable tale of a young 13th century boy and his journey to reunite with his beloved dog and minstrel father after getting separated from both of them. I particularly enjoyed Adam's independent nature and resourcefulness, the historical elements of the setting, and the idyllic pace of the story which contrasts so sharply with modern life and storytelling.
