Our Little Crusader Cousin of Long Ago by Evaleen Stein (Living Book Press)

Journey to the castles, camps, and caravan roads of the medieval Holy Land with Guy, a young boy growing up amid the pageantry and peril of the Crusades. In Our Little Crusader Cousin of Long Ago, readers follow Guy as he serves in the household of a crusading knight, learns the duties of a page, tends to horses and arms, and witnesses the meeting of many cultures-Frankish, Saracen, and Eastern Christian-within the walls of Jerusalem and beyond.

Through battles, pilgrim processions, desert travel, and encounters with knights, merchants, and monks, Guy's adventures bring to life the complexity and colour of the Crusader kingdoms.
