"When 16-year-old Martin Crawford goes out on the moor to hunt rabbits, he suddenly finds himself rescuing a man being pursued by bloodhounds. The fugitive, none other than Robert the Bruce, is Scotland's rightful king. And he wants Martin to be his page and messenger in the war against brutal English rule. It has been 10 years since the legendary William Wallace, subject of the Oscar-winning film Braveheart, was executed for instigating a rebellion. Now as the war gathers momentum, Robert the Bruce finds his swift young messenger indispensable. Hopefully, the same good fortune that brought them together will smile on them at Bannockburn, the battle that will decide the fate of their cause."

An enjoyable, easy-to-read historical fiction on Robert the Bruce.

I first read this book as a kid, and it is an excellent example of historical fiction. Plenty of action, but also historical realism that grounds it and gives a reasonably accuracy for its setting.

Martin at the age of sixteen saves Robert the Bruce, King of Scots from the British and their men. The Bruce needs soldiers for his very small army. Martians mother told the Bruce that he could have Martian and his older brother Sean. Martian doesn't want to fight in any army, so the king has other ideas for him. Martin can read and write. This is very useful for the king. Sean, Martins older brother joins the army and uses his dead fathers spear. There are many battles in this book. The Scots win a lot of them. This rallies up more soldiers just as the Bruce wanted. Martin is sent on spy missions to find out what the British army is going to do or when they are going to attack. The Bruce wants to win this war badly, for his family's sake. His family was killed by the British, and they also took his daughter hostage in a castle. Winning the war also means Scotland's freedom. You will have to read the book to see if Scotland gets its freedom back, or if the Bruce gets his daughter back

I liked this book because it has a lot of action. There are battles when you have no idea what is going to happen. It keeps you thinking, or wondering what is going to happen. You could expect something to happen but the exact opposite happens. There is nothing that I didn't like about this book. It gets right into action right away and that is what I like.

I would want someone to read this book if they liked action / war books. Books that have hand- to- hand battles. This book just grab's your attention. I would recommend it to someone that loves battles. Not to someone who wants a book about a pretty pony. This book has some blood or brutal combat.

Except for a few stylistic adverbs that could have been eliminated or changed, this is an excellent novel about Robert the Bruce's unwavering quest to free Scotland from English tyranny. It is told through the eyes of Martin, a young boy who inadvertently saves the Bruce and who then becomes the king's swift rider, a person who delivers messages to the king's various friends and allies. Martin also spies for him. I got a good sense of the history that was happening during those turbulent years of the late 13th century and the miracle of the Bruce's victory over the English.

THE KING'S SWIFT RIDER
Mollie Hunter
Have you ever thought of being in the army in the medieval times, fighting for the Bruce, King of all Scott's? Well this is what happened to a boy named Martin. This book is about Martin fighting for the Bruce.
I liked this book because I like knights and battles. I also like history about main events. One main event in the story is when the Scots killed thousands of English soldiers in one single castle!
The moral to this story is to believe in yourself, have trust and do things for reasons, not just for fun. One example is being mean to somebody or something for no good reason. That is what the English did to the Scots. I think people who like history and war should read this book.

Although this story is told through the eyes of Martin Crawford, a young Scot in the late 13th century, it's really about Robert the Bruce, King of Scots, and his passionate fight for freedom from England's rule. Many have said that this book's more for boys, but I'm a girl and I loved it, SO THERE! :P It reminds me a lot of America's own fight for independence. If you like historical fiction, Scotland, male heroes, or people with wits rather than brains, then you'll LOVE this book. I know I did.
