"Five middle-grade panelists talk about the plot, theme, and characters in Avi's Crispin: The Cross of Lead...Tim Podell, the host, poses questions to the diverse group of students who eagerly share their thoughts about life in the early 14th century...One panelist purposely takes an opposing view on many of the questions, making for an interesting dialogue...Teachers and librarians will want to use the program to initiate book discussions of their own." -- School Library Journal, May 2006.
