The Inquisitor's Tale, Or, The Three Magical Children and Their Holy Dog

by Hatem Aly, Adam Gidwitz   |  Ages 9-12
$9.90
The Inquisitor's Tale, Or, The Three Magical Children and Their Holy Dog
The Inquisitor's Tale, Or, The Three Magical Children and Their Holy Dog

Medieval adventure; humor meets profound themes.

"The Inquisitor's Tale" is a whirlwind of a read that combines the levity of a farting dragon with the gravity of weighty themes like xenophobia and religious conflict. The charm of the book lies in Adam Gidwitz's skillful blend of modern humor and historical context, a mix that can enlighten while it entertains. It's perfect for those who love their epic quests served with a side of irreverence and a dash of thought-provoking questions. If you're craving an adventure that's as heartfelt as it is humorous, this tale's for you.
