There will be wolves


Ursula is the daughter of an apothecary. She has a natural gift for healing. She can read and has a book given to her by a monk that contains information on healing. She is accused of being a witch by some jealous neighbors. In order to escape being burned, she is sentenced/forced to accompany a crusade as a healer.

There will be Wolves is a young adult, historical Christian novel. It examines gender roles, intolerance, hate, abuse, and the travesties of war - though not too deeply. The story is appropriate for ages 10-15. I enjoyed it enough to finish it, but it was predictable.

Book rating: 3 stars.
