"Will Sparrow's Road" by Karen Cushman follows the adventures of a young orphan named Will Sparrow in 16th-century England. Fleeing from an abusive home, Will discovers a traveling troupe of misfits, including a girl with a pig and a collection of peculiar characters. As he navigates the challenges of life on the road, from the threat of thieves to the search for belonging, Will grapples with his identity and sense of loyalty. Through his journey, he learns about friendship, courage, and the importance of family, ultimately finding his own place in a world filled with uncertainty.
