Westmark by Lloyd Alexander

This story takes place with a Printer's Apprentice who is horrible at everything but that. He makes a deal with a dwarf named Musket. Only thinking of the money that it will bring in. It back fires and ends up in the smashing of his mentor’s printing press and the death of his mentor. Now the main character killed a man trying to smash the printing press. So now he is on the wrong side of the law. So it is an action packed book and that is why I like it.
