Gripping story, great characters, you will remember it your whole life.
I loved this growing up, and read it several times. I read it aloud to my son when he was around 7. He loved it and read it by himself later. The man who became my life partner also read it as a child. I grew up in Boston, so the setting was familiar. But my son learned more about the revolutionary war from Johnny Tremain than at school, and for my husband (life long Seattle resident) it sparked a life long interest in the roots of our country, our belief systems, and our form of government. Plus it has the awesomely cool stuff about silversmithing.

Johnny Tremain--A book with dynamic benefits
I learned much from this book and I'm near 40. It is a wonderful companion to have on your side as you teach American History at the time near the Boston Tea Party. It makes history come alive and we watched Daniel Boone everyday while we read it. My favorite part is: "So that a man can stand up"--it speaks to adults as well as children because it is a QUALITY book. There is as much historical fact as there is fiction--if not more fact. We went to Youtube and saw the setting of the book :)

I really loved this book. It quotes the Bible. It is historical fiction. It helps readers understand what it would be like to become disabled. I read this book in Middle School and now I am looking at using as a read aloud book for my third grade class. A fun activity to go with the book would be to use tape on students dominant hand and have them try out what it would be like to have a disability like Johnny's.
