It’s 1348 and the shadow of the Black Death is descending over England. Geoffrey Copton returns from the war in France, only to find himself caught up in a plot to rob and kill an innocent man. Will Geoffrey and his friend Meg manage to save the day, or will the dastardly plotters get away with the gold …and with murder.

I chose this book because I was interested in learning about the Bubonic Plague. This is a Gory Stories book, not the usual Horrible Histories book that I was expecting, it tells the story of a fictional character returning from the war in France.

This book is more of a story ( rather than a factual book) based for children aged 7+. I recommend this book for kids who like history ,as well as gore! It is about a boy called Gefforey Copton , who has returned from the battle of Crecy. The village he lives in has been invested with a terrible illness, commonly known as 'the black death'. Find out more about Gefforey's adventures in this book!

I think you should read this book because its funny and has a meaning. I like this book because I like Horrible History's and it tells you a lot about History. I vote this book 10/10 because it tells you a lot about the History of the plague and death my favourite bit is when they tell you about Plague in Stuart times. My vote for this book is 10/10 what's yours?

because, it is kind of funny, at the end but a tiny bit creepy.
