Editorial Review:
Product Description:
The great events of Revolutionary Boston as seen through the shrewd eyes of an observant fourteen-year-old boy.
Amazon.com Review:
This story of a tragically injured young silversmith who ends up hip-deep in the American Revolution is inspiring, exciting, and sad. Winner of the prestigious Newbery Award in 1944, Esther Forbes's story has lasted these 50-plus years by including adventure, loss, courage, and history in a wonderfully written, very dramatic package. It's probably not great for little guys but mature 11-year-olds or older will find it a great adventure.

- Wasted on the youngThis novel is severely underappreciated because of its standing as a "kid's book." I first read Johnny Tremain more than a decade ago in elementary school, and I've read it at least once a year, every year, since.
If there is one complaint that I do not understand when reading negative reviews, it is the claim that these characters are 'flat'. They are anything but. I'd even venture to say that Johnny is one of the most well-written characters in literature. Forbes writes Johnny ... Read More

- Historical Fiction For All AgesMany are already familiar with the story of "Johnny Tremain", either through the book or the Disney movie. It is worth reading whether you have read it before or not. I have recently read it for about the fourth time. It is, of course, the story of the silversmith's apprentice, Johnny Tremain ,who becomes involved in the events leading up to the Boston Tea Party and culminating in the battles of Lexington and Concord. Through Johnny's eyes we see Paul Revere, Samuel Adams and Dr. Warren. We ... Read More

- BOOOOOOOOOOORING!!!I had to read this book for school, and I didn't like it at all. I didn't even finish it! This is not a good book. DO NOT read it. I don't know how many times I fell asleap while reading. My brother had to wake me up several times. I read all the time, and have finished the 800 page books in about one or two days. This book took me like 2 months. This is the boringist book I have ever read.

- Still a wonderful read for children and othersI suppose I had read other history books before I read this book at age 12. However, this is the book that hooked me on history.
Our media, books, television, films, are full of the American Revolution and its heroes and heroines now, but back in 1952, things were pretty quiet on the American History front. We were making our own history with WWII, the Marshall Plan, the Korean Conflict, the red scare et al. In spite of all that, this book set me on fire. I wanted to know more about ... Read More

- "We give all we have, lives, property, safety, skills...we fight, we die for a simple thing. Only that a man can stand up."And therein lies the premise for the colonial revolutionaries of the 1770s, as Forbes has written in her storied historical novel of Johnny Tremain.
Decidedly American, this story of the young protagonist Tremain in 1774-1775 colonial Boston could really be enjoyed by any reader who appreciates historical fiction. Though the story's premise is the beginning of the American War for Independence from England, the story has all the elements of a good book, even for those that may not have a ... Read More
