Karen Cushman
In his thirteenth year, Will Sparrow, liar and thief, becomes a runaway. On the road, he encounters a series of con artistsâ€”a pickpocket, a tooth puller, a pig trainer, a conjurerâ€”and learns that others are more adept than he atÂ lying and thieving. Then he reluctantly joins a traveling troupe of "oddities," including a dwarf andÂ a cat-faced girl, holding himself apart from the "monsters" and resolving to be on guard against further deceptions. At lastÂ Will isÂ forced to understand that appearances are misleading and that Â he has been his own worst deceiver. The rowdy world of market fairs in Elizabethan England is the colorful backdrop for Newbery medalist Cushman'sÂ newÂ comic masterpiece.Â
