The Midwife's Apprentice

The Midwife's Apprentice by Karen Cushman won the Newbery Medal in 1996 Newbery Medal. I picked it up when I was at the library a few days ago. It was a quick read (after all, it is at about a 6 grade reading level and short), but as Cushman tends to do, she transports you to medieval England with great characters and quaint dialogue.

At one point, I was trying to read all of the Newbery Medal winners, and I think I'll resurrect that goal.
