Summary: It was a great book!
Review: It was a AWESOME book. Except at the beggining, the first chapter, it was kind of boring, but the rest of the book made up for the ONLY boring part of the book. Just watch out at the end. His friend, Rad dies. I reccomend this book - not the Disney movie, they butchered it, like most of their movies - but the BOOK.

Review: I thought that Johnny Tremain was the best historical fiction I have ever read. It tells about the revolutionary War from a young boy's point of veiw. It includes famous men such as John Hancock, Samuel Adams, and James Otis. It is a very dramatic and heartwarming story. I would highly recommend this book to all readers.

Review: This book is excelant! Because of it I finally understood why the Boston Tea Party caused the war and what we were fighting for. Once you start it you don't want to put it down.

Summary: What is worth fighting for?
Review: I got my first copy of JOHNNY TREMAIN when I was eight, and 24 years later I still reread my third. I pick this book up at least once every couple of years, to remind myself of what it means to have a belief worth fighting and dying for. It's a mistake to call this a children's book, although its audience is clearly young adults. Both painstakingly researched and beautifully imagined, it should be required reading for anyone interested in the genre of historical fiction.

Summary: It was dissapointing
Review: It has a good plot, but the book overal was boring! It could have a little more spice and more entertaining story to it. The charector evolvement was pretty good, but some of it was sort of lame. I wouldn't read it, but my teacher makes me. If you are the type who likes historical fictions, then this is your book. i just dont care for them that much.

Summary: I loved it!
Review: I loved Johnny Tremain! It was very well written and had a great plot. It was a perfect book for people like me who like historic fistion. It was about a boy who can't work as a silversmith anymore because of a crippled hand and ends up in the Sons of Liberty. I'm 12 years old and I thought it was a very good story. It won the Newbery award in 1944 so it is a pretty old book but I think thats what makes it so grea

Summary: after watching Disney's Johnny Tremain
Review: This was also required reading for our 5th grade curriculum. Daughter hated it, so about half way through to reinforce it we watched Disney's version of Johnny Tremain on home video. After that, she couldnt read it fast enough. The book filled in all the blanks the movie made for her, and she had faces and personalities to add to the book, along with visual points of reference.
In the end, she really enjoyed it.
