Peasant girls like Elsie can’t be archers or knights or anything exciting. Then one day in the forest, Elsie and her best friend, Humphrey, discover a chest filled with stolen treasures — and a dangerous secret. At last Elsie has a chance to prove that she’s as brave as any knight. Little does she know that a deadly illness — the Black Death — has begun its attack on England. It’s already killed millions around the world. And now it’s come for Elsie. New York Times bestselling author Lauren Tarshis tells the story of how one girl finds incredible hope amid illness and grief.
