Explanation Supposing Books The Door in the Wall

The bells clang above plague-ridden London as Robin lies helpless, cold, and hungry. The great house is empty, his father is fighting the Scots in the north, his mother is traveling with the Queen, and the servants have fled. He calls for help but only the stones hear his cries. Suddenly someone else is in the house, coming towards Robin. It is Brother Luke, a wandering friar, who takes Robin to St. Mark's Monastery, where he will be cared for until his father sends for him.

At last, a message comes--Robin is to meet his father at Castle Lindsay. The journey is dangerous, and the castle is located near the hostile Welsh border. Perched high in the hills, the castle appears invincible. But it is not. Under the cover of a thick fog the Welsh attack the castle. And Robin is the only one who can save it...

Judgment Out Of Books The Door in the Wall

This was a nice story in a Medieval setting. I liked the portrayal of the time period and the story itself -- I guess I'm a bit ambivalent about it overall. The characters were fairly external -- I didn't feel like any of them really opened up to the reader. But still, good historical fiction for middle grade.Update: This worked well to pair with our history. I think the old-fashioned speech made it harder to understand as a read-aloud -- it might work better if it's assigned as a reader for an

I just picked this up to reread for the first time since childhood, and found it didn't live up to my memories (for one thing, I found it quite stilted this time around) but I'm keeping it at four stars for how much I liked it at the time. Back then, I thought the book was lovely and wise. I also thought that pretty much anything with a Medieval setting was inherently good, and even this time around I enjoyed the parts about the monastery, and learning to read, whittle and swim against a

This is a story about a Knight's son that knows he must leave his household and be sent to another knight's house to become a page, promoted to squire and lastly a Knight. He become ill with the pest and is taken in a monastery by brother Luke where he befriends friars and learns skills such as swimming, fishing, whittling, reading and writing, astronomy, the ways of the world, and moral teachings.I really like this book because it teaches many lessons in life. He learnt that it is fulfilling to

Read it for the first time & let someone borrow it before I finished! That was a mistake! Even though I've heard complaints that "nothing happens" in this little book, I couldn't wait to continue reading it. The prose is lovely, and transported me to medieval England for a spell. Looking forward to reading it again next year when my oldest will have it as an assigned reading.

This novel was awarded the Newbery Medal for excellence in American children's literature in 1950. That is often a sure sign to avoid a book but in this case I was drawn to the setting: England during the Middle Ages, as the bubonic plague is sweeping across the country. Young Robin is sent away to become a knight like his father, but his dreams are dashed when he loses the use of his legs. Since his parents are away, serving the king and queen during war, and the servants abandon the house,

A lovely story, simply yet eloquently written with a beautiful message.We all have walls in our lives - but the Lord always provides a door.
