Johnny Tremain

If I could find this in an ebook I would read it again. Great Book.

My poor, battered copy looks nothing like this picture. My fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Boswell, reccommended this book to me and I loved it so much I read it three times that summer alone. It was also the beginning of my love affair with the Revolutionary period (and probably the seed that was planted which sprouted my rather ridiculous collection of books on the Constitutional Convention)....more

My poor, battered copy looks nothing like this picture. My fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Boswell, reccommended this book to me and I loved it so much I read it three times that summer alone. It was also the beginning of my love affair with the Revolutionary period (and probably the seed that was planted which sprouted my rather ridiculous collection of books on the Constitutional Convention). How "The Red Badge of Courage," and not this book, got to be the landmark piece of Revolutionary War literature I'll never know.   hide

Read this while take a children's literature course. The first half was much more interesting than the second half. I would recommend this book for students are learning about the United States during the American Revolutionary War.

Hated it

My sixth grade read.......love all the detail about our forefather's happenings through a young one's eyes.

I have read this book maybe five times since 7th grade. It's a favorite because it takes the reader to the place so much I can smell it. I could recognize Johnny Tremain if he were standing in a crowd of people.

This book is the first work of historical fiction that I enjoyed as a young adult. Now I'm hooked!!

My favorite book from high school. And yes i've read it since then

A book I have read many times and keep promising myself I'll buy it. It will join others in my library before school starts.
