Johnny Tremain
Overview & Summary
A gifted but arrogant silversmith's apprentice in pre-Revolutionary Boston, Johnny Tremain suffers a crippling hand injury that ends his career, forcing him to reinvent himself as a courier for the Sons of Liberty -- putting him at the center of real historical events including the Boston Tea Party and the Battles of Lexington and Concord. Esther Forbes's 1943 Newbery Medal winner blends a coming-of-age story with a vivid, meticulously researched portrait of the American Revolution's earliest days.
