This book is COOL! I've read several Henty books, but this is my favorite so far. It's about a boy and his cousin who are helping to fight the Catholics, who are opressing the Huguenots in France in the 1500's. The boys are very courageous, so they get into a lot of exciting situations! There are sword fights, lots of battles, sieges of towns, daring escapes, and at the end, St. Bartholomew's Eve: the night the French Catholics began their horrible massacre of thousands of innocent Huguenots. Will the boys and their friend Claire survive? You'll have to read it and find out!
