Try to find a copy of the book “Johnny Tremain”. The author is Esther Forbes if I’m remembering correctly. The book was granted many accolades in the publishing world, by educators, and by uncounted readers.The young man, JT is fictional, however, the history presented during the time of the beginning of the Revolutionary war is right on the nose.
JT was only around 11-13 years old when the story begins. The book is funny at times,and,sometimes shows very difficult situations for JT. Walt Disney made a film of JT. The book is much better. I was able to download the book on my Kindle, then over to the Ipad. I still make a point to re-read it on occasion... especially during times like the present. I find something new in the story every time I read it, and I’m getting way up in years,
Our 5th grade teacher in OK at the time, read a chapter per day during American History. I could barely stand waiting for the next chapter..
