The Inquisitor's Tale: Or, the Three Magical Children and Their Holy Dog

In 1242, on a dark night in France, travelers meet at an inn and share stories of three children on a quest. William, an oblate from a monastery, Jacob, a Jewish boy fleeing his burning village, and Jeanne, a peasant girl with prophetic visions, along with Jeanne's resurrected greyhound, Gwenforte, escape persecution and embark on a journey to save sacred texts. Their adventures take them through France, encountering knights, kings, and a farting dragon, ultimately leading to a showdown at Mont Saint-Michel where they face a test of sainthood. This tale, reminiscent of The Canterbury Tales, unfolds through multiple voices and was a 2017 Newbery Honor Book.
