The Inquisitor's Tale by Adam Gidwitz Book Summary

An exciting and hilarious new medieval adventure about history, religion . . . and farting dragons, from the bestselling author of A Tale Dark and Grimm.
 
1242. On a dark night, travelers from across France cross paths at an inn and begin to tell stories of three children: William, an oblate on a mission from his monastery; Jacob, a Jewish boy who has fled his burning village; and Jeanne, a peasant girl who hides her prophetic visions. They are accompanied by Jeanne's loyal greyhound, Gwenforte . . . recently brought back from the dead.
As the narrator collects their tales, the story of these three unlikely allies begins to come together.

Their adventures take them on a chase through France to escape prejudice and persecution and save precious and holy texts from being burned. They’re taken captive by knights, sit alongside a king, and save the land from a farting dragon. And as their quest drives them forward to a final showdown at Mont Saint-Michel, all will come to question if these children can perform the miracles of saints.

Beloved bestselling author Adam Gidwitz makes his long awaited return with his first new world since his hilarious and critically acclaimed Grimm series. Featuring manuscript illuminations throughout by illustrator Hatem Aly and filled with Adam’s trademark style and humor, The Inquisitor's Tale is bold storytelling that’s richly researched and adventure-packed.

★ “Gidwitz strikes literary gold with this mirthful and compulsively readable adventure story. . . . A masterpiece of storytelling that is addictive and engrossing.” —Kirkus, starred review

★ "Gidwitz is on fire here, making medieval history feel fresh and current." —School Library Journal, starred review

★ "Gidwitz proves himself a nimble storyteller as he weaves history, excitement, and multiple narrative threads into a taut, inspired adventure." —Booklist, starred review

★ "A well-researched and rambunctiously entertaining story that has as much to say about the present as it does the past." —Publishers Weekly, starred review

In. I would not read this book it does not really make sense to me and probably to you to so I am just saying if I would have known what this book is about a would not have read it or even started reading it.

Great!. This book has a very deep message all the while having kid-friendly language and content. 5 stars!

Weird yet wonderful. This is one of the strangest books I've read, but also one of the most enjoyable. I would 100% recommend this!

Enjoyable. I liked this book because it was just in general a great story with appealing humor and interesting illuminations. At times I was throwing my head back and laughing (arousing strange looks) and at other times I was slamming the book shut, unable to bear how much I loved it. I liked how the end really makes you consider the meaning of who a person really is.

Amazing!. I absolutely loved this book! When I first picked it up (while not being a fan of fantasy) I was very speculative. This novel is woven with deep, intricate concepts on religion, friendship, the history of France, and the High Middle Ages. The author gives a very unique perspective on French medieval life through drama, suspense and folklore. I highly recommend it - for the history and fantasy fanatics out there!
