The Inquisitor's Tale

The Inquisitor's Tale: Or, The Three Magical Children and Their Holy Dog by Adam Gidwitz

Text from the back cover:

1242.  On a dark night, travelers from across France cross paths at an inn and begin to tell stories of three children whose adventures take them on a chase through France.  The trio are taken captive by knights, sit alongside a king, and save the land from a farting dragon.  On the run to save precious and holy texts, their quest drives them forward to a final showdown at Mont-Saint-Michel, where all will come to question if these children can perform the miracles of saints.  Join William, an oblate on a mission; Jacob, a Jewish boy who has fled his burning village; and Jeanne, a peasant girl who hides her prophetic visions.
