Crispin: At the Edge of the World by Avi

Crispin and his juggling companion, Bear, have run away from deadly assassins willing to kill them. Bear tries to teach Crispin how to fend for himself, make his own decisions, and to respect God and be free of sins. Eventually they are spotted by unknown natives that provide them shelter for awhile. After being spotted by the assassins again, Crispin and Bear run away with the tribe reject, Troth. Together the three of them start their epic adventure through dangers. This book has a motivating ending and should be read by people who like epics.
