At the Crossing-Places (EBK)
by Kevin Crossley-HollandThe year is 1200, and young Arthur de Caldicot is now a squire to Lord Stephen, who is about to set off for the Crusades. Arthur experiences many firsts on his journey—he is fitted with armor, discovers the wonders of girls, and sees the ocean for the very first time. He must also suffer through an encounter with his violent biological father and continue his quest to locate his mother.
Along the way, Arthur steps back in time via his mystical seeing stone, which allows him to relive the medieval heroism of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. As he watches Lancelot romance Guinevere, he also spies the evil witch Morgan le Fey as she plans ways to ruin King Arthur. Arthur de Caldicot is able to draw strength from these visions as he watches how King Arthur once faced his own difficulties and challenges.
Filled with all the excitement of a fantasy tale, the book is laced with the glorious magic of the Arthurian legends, making it a thrilling, captivating read.

It is the year 1200, and young Arthur de Caldicot is all set to accompany Lord Stephen on the Fourth Crusade. But first Arthur must find a warhorse, be fitted with a suit of armor, and learn the art of serving as a squire.
The adventures continue at Lord Stephen's manor. There is a murder. There is a crush — on the vivacious Winnie de Verdon. There is a meeting with Arthur's blood-father, the ferocious Sir William de Gortanore, and a beginning to Arthur's search for his birth mother. The exciting and bewildering events in Arthur's own life are reflected in the magical seeing stone, where he steps into stories revolving around his namesake, the young King Arthur — the establishing of the Round Table, the quests of the knights, and the days of great glory at Camelot.
The second volume in the Arthur trilogy bursts with thrilling characters, stories, and themes both true to the Middle Ages and shockingly relevant to the present.
