The book The Inquisitor’s Tale is a fantastic book by Adam Gidwitz and is illuminated by Hatem Aly. This book is most definitely a must read for 3rd graders +. This historical fiction novel takes place in 1242 in France and is a compelling read about three children and a holy dog. Their names are: Jeanne, who is a determined girl who has visions of the future. Gwenforte, a holy greyhound who was killed and came back to life. William, a young African monk who has supernatural strength. And Jacob, a quiet Jewish boy who can heal any sort of wound. This story is told by butchers and brewers, knights and nobodies and peasants and priests at the Holy Cross-Roads Inn. Many people are at the inn hoping to see King Louis and “the three magical children and their holy dog”. While they are waiting, many different people share little parts of their story and all of those parts are the chapters, which add up to the storyline of the book. Join these 4 characters as they embark on a journey filled with magic and mystery through dangerous forests and crowded streets. One reason why I love this book is because it has a dog! This book is wonderfully written and skillfully crafted, which in my opinion makes for the most captivating, irresistible, entrancing, fascinating, thrilling book you’ve ever read. After you pick it up, you won’t be able to put this book down. Recommended by O.G.
