Freedom for Bron - N. S. Blackman

Slave boy Bron does his best to avoid the wrath - and the stick - of his master,
the grumpy village blacksmith.
But Bron's life is dull, he has no family or friends
and he is always hungry.
Then one day an important Saxon lord arrives - passing through the village on his way to a crucial war council. It's a chance for Bron to escape his lowly life
and prove just how valuable one young lad can be - to the lord, to his village and ultimately, to the whole kingdom.
A tale of friendship, divided loyalties and the desire to belong, this adventure will thrill young readers.
