"Chera, Lummie, and Joan are unusual in medieval Winchester, England. Two girls and a boy, especially two Jews and a Christian, are not supposed to be friends. Most days, after their studies with Rabbi Baruch, they enjoy scaring themselves in the greatly feared nearby forest, home to ne'er-do-wells and sprites, where they make another unusual friend, a starving outlaw. But the trio's fun is shattered when Chera's grandmother, Licoricia, a wealthy widow, and Joan's mother, Licoricia's maid, are murdered. Jurors name a suspect, who flees the city, but he may not have killed them. Almost anyone could have, so just investigating isn't enough. What's more, the Unusuals are sure Lummie's grandmother will be the next to die. They concoct a perilous plan that needs allies to succeed, but everyone else thinks their idea is crazy"-- Book jacket flap.
