Summary: A great book about Medieval Japan.
Comment: The Samurai's Tale is about a boy named Taro who lives in Japan. His parents were killed when he was four and he was taken in by Lord Takeda Shingen's top general, Lord Akiyama. As he made his way through the servant ranks, he met many life-long friends who helped him to achieve his dream, to be a samurai. Through the book he has many adventures and experiences love, war, and despair. Two of us said that this was an exciting and adventurous book that takes you through medieval Japan. Another one of us said that this book describes the life and routines of samurais in feudal Japan. We recommend this book to historical fiction lovers. It's chock-full of action and adventure.

Summary: An epic adventure of a young boy's life in Japan
Comment: Imagine being a high ranked samurai's son until one day when all that changes. This is what happened to a kid named Murakami in this book. In one day he had lost his family, his name and his rank. Now he is known as Taro, a low ranked servant for Lord Akiuama. Now, he must work to raise his status and achieve his goal, to be a samurai. This book is action packed and full of surprises. We totally recommend this book to everyone who is in the sixth grade and above and enjoys reading about action, thrilling adventure, suspenseful romance and gruesome violence. We found this tale exciting for everyone to read and hope you will read it too.
