HSM!!!!!! You're here! Did Grama let you out, or did you call the cops on her again?
About Johnnie Tremaine: I have a grandchild who is 11. Would that be the right age for that book? And can I get it anywhere?

Johnnie Tremain would be fine for an 11 year-old. My son read it at about that age for our Revolutionary War unit (we lived right outside of Boston at the time, so we could visit some of the historic places we were reading about in the book)

--hands on hips--Grammie doesn't own me! For your information we're in an undisclosed location again. The kids are at Autumn Camp. We're playing checkers and drinking root beer from frosty mugs with Rummy and Cheney. So there.
Johnny Tremain would be a wonderful book for an eleven year old, as long as he/she is a strong reader! It has been suggested by some for junior high due to the vocabulary. You might consider using it as a read aloud book for you and your grandchild! You should be able to purchase it at any major book store...if they don't have it you could order it off of Amazon or even homeschool book sites. Enjoy!!!
