Over all I liked this book. We just talked about Crusaders in Social studies. This book just adds to my knowledge about the crusaders. I didn't even know they were called the Crusaders until this book. I liked this book because it had information and tips.I liked the tips because they did not include things about after death situations like the mummy ones.Im still wondering why they were called the crusaders,or if there is even a back story.
Crusaders are knights from the middle ages. According to the priest if you fight in the war,you won't have to pay for your sins in hell. They believed in a system where if you have sins you would go to the underworld until you have payed for your sins,then you would go to heaven. Most knights decided to go to war so they wouldn't have to suffer in the underworld. Most of the Crusaders went on boat but since most haven't been on a boat before they got seasick.Then they would march for days until they found their enemy all the way in Jerusalem. Many died but the still won the war and got their catholic city back.

Informative overview but not nearly as entertaining as some in this series. I think the crusades may be just too in depth of a subject for a quick and quirky children's book. ( )
