(2) 4-6 In 1349 Paris, Henri, an abbey choirboy, records the events of the Plague Year and his friendship with Micah, a mischievous orphan and brilliant singer who transforms Henri's previously sickly and lonely life. Darker notes of the Black Death underlie this upbeat change, coloring but never overwhelming the story. The heart of the story is in the two boys' friendship, a universal theme well placed in this lively and historically plausible tale. Glos.
