The Marvelous Misadventures of Sebastian

The Marvelous Misadventures of Sebastian

From the Newbery Medal-winning author of The High King, comes the story of Sebastian, a boy never far from adventureâ€”or trouble!

When fourth fiddler Sebastian loses his place in the Baronâ€™s orchestra, he takes to the highwayâ€”and soon finds himself dealing with disaster after disaster. In trying to rescue a stray cat, he loses his violin; in trying to help a skinny boy who turns out to be a princess, he falls into the clutches of a bear; and when he tries to join a theater troupe as an actor, he finds himself cast as a clown.

But Sebastianâ€™s a fleet-footed optimist, and heâ€™ll always find a way to outrace trouble, outwit it, or enchant itâ€”and heâ€™ll keep everyone around him laughing.

Winner of the 1971 National Book Award
