Johnny Tremain by Esther ForbesMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Hehe, okay, everyone needs a bit of kids' stuff after a whole semester of grown-up person college subjects, right? Epistemology and metaphysics and Descartes and Hume all seem to fade into insignificance before the everlastingly sane world of children.
Johnny Tremain was an enjoyable, well-written piece of children's fiction. It should be fascinating even to a reluctant reader and will make a historical period come alive even if it doesn't teach a whole lot of history.
