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.

This book is often viewed with contempt by younger readers who happen to have it as assigned reading for school. Read for pleasure though and the book is not too bad. I really enjoyed the book's descriptions of Boston and the activities of the Whigs. The story of the lead character also gives an interesting glimpse into the life of apprentice workers during the pre-Revolution. This novel also does well with historical accuracy considering that it is written for younger readers and that much of the best research on the American Revolution wasn't available on a wide scale till after 1975. The historical backdrop for the story contributes greatly to the reader's interest as well. I recommend this book as an interesting read and for good entertainment value.

Many 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 also get a glimpse into the world of Eighteenth Century Boston with its merchants and apprentices, landmarks and social conditions. The story is enhanced as we watch sixteen year old Johnny form his standards of right and wrong, feel out his relationships with girls and, under the tutelage of his new friend Rab, enter the world of men. We also see Johnny mature as he comes to know himself.
"Johnny Tremain received the John Newberry Medal for excellence in Children's Literature. This speaks to its quality, but does not indicate a limitation on its appeal. It is an excellent book for teenagers, but should not be ignored by adults either. I have read and re-read it repeatedly and never tire of it. It is an excellent book to read before a trip to Boston because so many of the places you will visit as you walk the Freedom Trail and the persons referred to along its cobblestones are included in this book. It will help you to a deeper understanding of the Freedom Trail and the role of Boston in the Revolution. Whether you are going to Boston or not, do not miss "Johnny Tremain".

I use this book as a novel study with my fifth grade students, and every year it is a favorite. The kids get so emotionally involved in Johnny's world, and they come to see the important figures of the Revolution (Paul Revere, Sam Adams, James Otis, etc.) as their personal friends, not just names in a Social Studies book. This year I took my class on a trip to Boston, and they were thrilled to see the places Johnny saw. The book is challenging reading, but it is worth the effort.

A Book Of Knowledge
I would say this is one of the greatest history novel i have ever read. It was imformative, yet it was still dramatic and suspensful. A must read book for young adults.
