Johnny is the main character, he is 14, fair haired, and a silversmith's apprentice. All classic books have a main character that the story is based around.

Review-How I feel about johnny 4/5/16

rsiffermann221 — 2016-04-05 16:30:03 UTC

I do not like Johnny. He has too much pride, and is mean to the other apprentices. He is very arrogant, and I feel that he could be more humble.

Johnny lives on Hancock's Wharf, in Boston, with the Lapham's, the family he is apprenticed to.

Review- Johnny the News Boy 4/10/16

rsiffermann221 — 2016-04-10 23:53:44 UTC

Working for the Boston Observer, Johnny learns about politics and "taxation without representation." He becomes involved in the plans of Paul Revere, Sam Adams, and John Hancock. Rab teaches Johnny to have more patience, and to be nicer to Dove.
Johnny changes into a better person, more caring and loving, than before. You can tell that he is a dynamic character

My Recommendations 4/10/16

rsiffermann221 — 2016-04-11 00:30:56 UTC

I would give this book 100 stars if I could. Once you pick it up you can't put it down. It is full of action, love, and sacrifice. I also learned a lot about how the Revolutionary War was started. You should read this book to figure out these questions and more.
What happens to Rab at the Battle of Lexington?
Can Johnny's crippled hand be cured?
What will happen to Cilla?
Will Johnny overcome his pride?
