Freedom for Bron

Bron, an enslaved young Saxon, does the hard work that his master, the village blacksmith, would rather avoid. His reward is a lack of food and cruel jeers from other, non enslaved children in the village. But, unbeknown to all, war is brewing. And when a famous Saxon warlord arrives at his village Bron gets a chance to prove that honour and bravery are not only for those who are already free... A tale of friendship and the desire to belong, this adventure resonates with all children and immerses readers in the Anglo-Saxon era, with plenty of detail about the myths and culture of that time. This new edition contains a helpful guide on how to pronounce the Anglo-Saxon names in the book.Freedom for Bron has been shortlisted for the 2017 James Reckitt Hull Children s Book Award for KS2.Accompanying KS2 activity sheets can be downloaded for free at any time from https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/freedom-for-bron-ks2-anglo-saxons-11557628
