Knights, castles, jousts, sword fights, palace intrigue, oh yes, and romance, what’s not to like? Ivanhoe, a story set in thirteenth-century England, has everything a seventh-grader could ask for. I hated reading until Miss Hilferty assigned this story to our literature class. One story can change the world.
