The Book of the Maidservant by Rebecca Barnhouse
2.0
Eh. I read it to help out our middle school librarian so I could recommend/not recommend.
Too dry, the kids won't like it. Good story, about a servant who has to follow her mistress on a pilgrimage to Rome, but it didn't hold my interest.
Want a book about a kid who travels through medieval Europe? Pick up

Much better reads.
