Lloyd Alexander

 

 

This story of the fantastic journey of three friends and the companions they meet along the way is written by the Newberry Medal winning author, Lloyd Alexander. Lucian is a young boy running from death, Joy-in-the-Dance from something she won't say, and Fronto is on a quest to get help for the terrible wrong he's committed. Running through Arkadia is their only hope, and danger around every corner. Along the way they meet, Argos Ops, a chieftain turned scapegoat on the way to meet his own destiny. They also meet others, including Oudeis who is nearing the end of his ten year journey to get home to his wife. Sound familiar? What happens when he gets there, and whether Fronto ever is saved from his horrible plight is all part of their trip that keeps you guessing, right up until the end.
