description: John Newbery Medal Winner"I want to go with you," Adam tells his father. But the roads of early England were home to bands of thieves and robber knights - not just to minstrels like Adam and his father.Before their journey has hardly begun, Adam's beloved dog, Nick, is stolen and his father disappears. Adam is eleven years old, but he travels the road alone, searching the fairs and market towns for his father and his dog.
