A girl who can see the future. A boy who can heal any wound. And a monk who is so tall you would have to climb a ladder to be his height. Funny, adventurous, and filled with different stories, the Inquisitors Tale is a book you'll want to read.
I found myself laughing at every page of this book! I especially liked that this book was told from several points of view, not just one storyteller. It was cooler that way. Much more interesting.
This book made me think about if I had special powers like these kids. I don't mean to be cheesy but that would be SO. COOL. I think that even if I was made fun of for having special abilities I wouldn't care because I'd be a REBEL and I would have freakin' powers.
My favorite part of the book was when all of the kids (Jacob, William, and Jeanne) teamed up to fight the knights and succeeded and ran away together like REBELS!!
I think this book is for ages 11+, it's a little too--religious and a bit confusing at times. I would recommend this book to people who love adventure, danger, storytelling, and kind-of sad books. The lesson I learned from this book was, "Sometimes life is tough, but your friends are there when nobody else is."
