“A tale of ingenuity, daring, dread, and tenderness, in which neither man nor Boy is quite what he seems, The Book of Boy is a treat from start to finish.” (Wall Street Journal)

“The Book of Boy, with evocative wood-cut-style illustrations by Ian Schoenherr, is a beautiful volume. . . .an original feat of imaginative storytelling.” (Wall Street Journal)

“Scuffles and sacrifices, ferocious animals, and dastardly thieves abound as Boy and Secundus are slowly revealed to readers—and each other. This is also a beautiful piece of bookmaking, from the woodblock-style design elements to the manuscript-like paper. A vivid, not-to-be-missed story.” (Booklist (starred review))

“Light and darkness have never clashed with such fierce majesty and eloquent damnation. Murdock weaves an engrossing tale. ...Blend epic adventure with gothic good and evil, and add a dash of sly wit for a tale that keeps readers turning the page.” (Kirkus Reviews (starred review))

“Fresh, immediate, and earthy: the fakery, the faith, the embedded stories, the escapades. The story is beautifully served by its package...Most remarkable and unusual is the character of Boy, a complex and compelling being whose defining quality is goodness.” (Horn Book (starred review))

“This is a medieval tale that blends historical fiction with magical realism. Readers will enjoy the adventures of Boy and Secundus, rife with twists that give the story more depth than a straightforward historical novel. ... Boy is an admirable protagonist.” (School Library Journal)

著名畅销书作家凯瑟琳·吉尔伯特·默多克在这部获奖的引人入胜的小说中讲述了一个被遗弃的年轻人卷入了一场惊险而危险的中世纪寻宝之旅。《男孩的故事》被授予纽伯瑞奖。“从头到尾都是一种享受。“- wall Street Journal)

这个男孩总是被送到他那个小村庄的郊区去。他背上有个驼背，有个神秘的过去，而且喜欢和动物说话，他经常被镇上的人嘲笑——直到有一个名叫阿塞俄斯的神秘朝圣者到来。阿塞俄斯对彼得的攀爬和跳跃能力印象深刻，于是便邀请他做他的仆人，把他拉进了一场充满动作和悬疑的欧洲探险，目的是为了收集圣彼得的七件珍贵遗物。
