Kruistocht in spijkerbroek
De zestienjarige Dolf uit Amstelveen geeft zich op als proefkonijn: hij zal door een materie-transmitter teruggeflitst worden naar de Middeleeuwen om daar één middag een kijkje te nemen. Maar door een foute berekening komt hij in het jaar 1212 terecht in een Kinderkruistocht die net uit Keulen is vertrokken en niet op het riddertoernooi in Montgivray in Midden-Frankrijk dat hij zo graag wilde bijwonen.
Verbijsterd ziet hij duizenden gelovige – en vooral goedgelovige – kinderen, aan wie wonderen zijn beloofd, zingend aan hem voorbijtrekken. Zij zijn van plan met hun blote handen het Heilige Land van de Saracenen te bevrijden.
Om vijf uur diezelfde middag moet Dolf weer op de afgesproken plek staan om teruggeflitst te worden naar de twintigste eeuw – tenminste, als er niets fout gaat…
Lengte: 11 uur 26 minuten

3 starsNicely read by Menno (4 stars). This was a book of opposites. Sometimes it was a bit childish, but other passages/details were very (too?) macabre. The story has its engrossing moments but on t...

How lovely it was to revisit a childhood story! I love history, but somehow it wasn't the class I got the best grades in. I think it's more the stories that interest me! Like Crusade in Jeans (or K...

My Dutch friends were displeased I didn't enjoy this more. Part of it may be due to the fact that this is a translation. I also tried to take into consideration that this is a children's book publishe...
