Will Sparrow's Road by Karen Cushman

Will Sparrow runs away from his father, who sold him for beer, and from a sad life.  This is the story of Will's journey, alone, without food or money and how he tries to avoid capture.  Some of the travellers he meets on the way are kind but others trick and cheat him.  The author paints a colourful picture of the Elizabethan fairs Will passes through.
