This book is about a Japanese boy named Taro who is captured by Lord Takeda Shingen. Takeda brings Taro to his castle to work as a servant. During his stay, Taro befriends the cook Togan. During one of the walks they did with each other, a merciless samurai kills Togan when they try to go through. When Taro was fifteen, he became a messenger. He befriended a samurai named Yoshitoki. Later, Taro became a samurai and was renamed Murakami Harutomo. Will Taro go into battle? If he does, will he survive? If you want to find out, read The Samurai’s Tale. I would recommend this book for boys and girls and those who like Japanese history.
