The Trumpeter of Krakow by Eric P. Kelly is an adventure tale of courage, mystery, and sacrifice set in the storied streets of medieval Kraków.
When young Joseph Charnetski and his family flee danger in the East and arrive in Krakow carrying a mysterious ancient treasure, they are drawn into a web of alchemy, espionage, and political intrigue. Above the city towers the Church of Our Lady, where each hour a lone trumpeter sounds the haunting signal that ends abruptly in mid-note-a reminder of heroism in the face of invasion. As enemies close in and secrets from the past threaten the future, Joseph must discover what loyalty, faith, and honor truly demand.
Winner of the Newbery Medal, this beloved classic combines rich historical detail with unforgettable storytelling. Generations of readers have treasured its vivid portrait of old Krakow, its atmosphere of wonder and peril, and its enduring message that true nobility is found not in power, but in character.
