Bookroo's summary
In 1171, young Hugh is left at Glastonbury Abbey as his father flees. Despite his physical challenges, Hugh's life becomes unexpectedly rich. With friends Dickon and the eccentric Bleheris, he discovers a hidden treasure and a mystery tied to ancient legends. As they delve deeper, Hugh faces challenges that test his courage and resolve, leading to revelations beyond his wildest dreams. What secrets does the abbey hold, and how will they change Hugh's life forever?
From the publisher
A Newberry Honor Book! Amidst great mystery, Hugh is left in the care of Glastonbury Abbey by his father who must flee to England too swiftly to be burdened by a crippled son. Ashamed of his physical weakness, yet possessed of a stout heart, Hugh finds that life at the abbey is surprisingly full in this year 1171, in the turbulent days of King Henry II. Hugh, his friend Dickon and their strange friend, the mad Bleheris, uncover a treasure trove, and with it a deeper mystery of the sort that could only occur in Glastonbury where Joseph of Arimithea was said to have lived out his last years. Before all is done, more is resolved than Hugh could ever have hoped.Ages 10-up
