This book is a historical fiction book with a spin on the tale of Jesus' last few days. It's told through the eyes of a boy living on the streets who goes to see "the Magician" (Jesus) and his followers. I appreciated the twist on the story and I also appreciated how the language in the book was more modern. It didn't feel like I was reading a tale from 2000 years ago. However, I can't imagine myself using this book in a classroom. I could definitely see a religious person in my class reading the book and feeling offended by it's twist on the Bible story. It's probably to risky to even have in the classroom.
