Johnny Tremain

Johnny Tremain is a classic novel set in America during the Revolutionary War. Johnny Tremain is an apprentice silversmith who burned his hand while making a sugar basin. He finds a new job delivering papers for the Observer, a printing press, since he can't do any silversmith work because of his crippled hand. He helps the Sons of Liberty, a group of colonist that fight for liberty, with the famous "Boston Tea Party" and also helps with the civil war that then ensued between the British and the colonist. Johnny Tremain, although a fictional book with some historical facts and characters that may seem boring to some is educational and fun to read. I highly recommend it to everyone.
