"Johnny Tremain"

Johnny Tremain, a young apprentice silversmith, is caught up in the danger and excitment of Boston in the 1770's, just before the Revolutionary War.  Johnny can't help being swept along by the powerful currents that 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 that Johnny makes about his own life.
