Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the transition from childhood play to real-world responsibility, or when they express a deep curiosity about how people lived in the past. It serves as a gentle bridge for those who are beginning to question what it means to be a person of honor and character in a complex, changing world. Set in the vibrant French Renaissance court of King Francis I, the story follows Pierre, a young page training for knighthood. While it captures the excitement of jousting and courtly life, its heart lies in Pierre's intellectual and emotional awakening. Through his interactions with historical figures like the scholar Erasmus and the King's sister, Marguerite of Navarre, Pierre learns that true strength involves both the sword and the mind. It is a sophisticated historical journey that champions the pursuit of knowledge and the development of a personal moral compass.
