A historical fiction tells of the turbulent, passionate times in Boston just before the Revolutionary War which is a good book for young boys to read both to teach them history and to set them forward in life. |

Esther Forbes does an excellent job at mixing fun with education. It really helped me a lot because i was studying the Boston Massacre, and it talks about Paul Revere, Sam Adams, and John Hankock. Since we were learning about that in history it helped me historically and in my vocabulary. My favorite character is definitely Rab. He is a great person. He is also and easily admirable person. He is kind and cares about what people think. He was kind to Johnny even though Johnny looked like a scoundrel only looking for trouble. Johnny's look was all wrong; he isn't really a careless scoundel. He is really a kind-hearted, sensitive person who doesn't give up easily. I would definitely recommend this book to you. |
