I think the story will be about a poor 12th century boy who breaks a very expensive vase ,and will have to work off the money. Although, the work will be challenging.
I have not read another book by Linda Sue Park.

I think it will be about someone will break some pottery and have to pay for it.
I think this is about a boy that is poor and he lives under a bridge.The only way he can survive is to feed of food scraps.Then he broke a piece of pottery and had work for it. He is very eager to learn. Then he had to go show his master's work at the king's court
