About This Item
Laurel Leaf Hardcover Library Edition. Reading age: 10-13 years. Ex-library book has usual markings, stamps, stickers, writing, card holder. No DJ. Some bumping, rubbing on the top, spine, edges, corners. Outer page edges with tanning, browning, stains and foxing. Spine does have a dent but binding is tight. Johnny Tremain, A young apprentice silversmith, is caught up in the danger and excitement of 1775 Boston, just before the Revolutionary War. Johnny can't help but be swept along by the powerful currents that will lead to the Boston Tea Party and the Battle of Lexington. But even more gripping than living through the drama of Revolutionary Boston is the important discovery Johnny makes in his own life. 1971. B9.
