Replacement Book for Boy's Book Club

One of the mom's in our Boy's Medieval Book Club suggested a great replacement for The Mabinogian for our last book.  She and her son just read Men of Iron by Howard Pyle.  I've started reading it and LOVE the fact that Myles' religion plays the primary role in his decision making.  It's the kind of book 10-12 year old boys need to read.  I've also read that it is a very good depiction of the training a squire received.  I'll provide a full book report when I finish.

    Oh how I wish we lived closer to you!! I too love books where faith is the motivating factor for the character(s). I just bought it off your link. I was looking for another book for my 13 year old son for Christmas!

    I love everything by Howard Pyle. Do you have his Robin Hood? Or The Wonder Clock?
