Crusade
Author(s): Linda Press Wulf
When a dazzlingly handsome boy riding a white charger arrives in Georgette's village, she is spellbound - both by the boy and by the crowd that follows him. They are all children. The boy is even more entrancing when he speaks. He seeks volunteers to join his Crusade - a perilous mission from which some may not return. Georgette has never left her village before, but she knows she will go with the boy. And so begins a journey filled with terrible danger, sacrifice and true love, a journey which will take all of Goergette's courage to survive.
