The Door in the Wall
Written by Marguerite de Angeli
Set in the Middle Ages in England during the Black Death (bubonic plague), the story is about Robin, a boy destined to become a knight. But when he loses the use of his legs, those plans change. He's taken in by a friar, where he learns to read, use crutches, and become independent. His hard-earned independence allows him to serve the king honorably.
