Summary: I'm a girl who thought this was a good book
Review: When I went to read this book for school, my older brother said, "Oh yeah, I read that and it was real good up to the part where he burned his hand, but after that it was real boring." Well, as usual, I have to disagree with my ignorant brother who totally missed all of the great character development that Johnny goes through as a result of his injury. Reading this book is like having a ringside seat at the opening battle of the Revolutionary War. We studied the American Revolution in Social Studies right after I read Johnny Tremain and I could just picture Rab standing there on the Lexington Green, facing down all those British officers on horseback with that gun he loved so much. Rab was like my brother: always looking for something violent and gross to get involved in. You'll see what happens to him (not that my brother was probably paying attention.) I felt the sorriest for Pumpkin. I think he would have been very happy as an American if he'd only been given the chance. Overall, I'm glad we won the war. I guess we have guys like Rab to thank for that. God bless America!!!

Summary: Johnny Tremain: a lesson in pride
Review: I liked the book Johnny Tremain very much. It was always so clear what Johnny was thinking and feeling, and the situations he was in seemed so real! In Johnny, I saw a person who I would like to be, somebody who always stood up for what he believed in, liberty and freedom. During the course of the book, Johnny developed into a more considerate and empathetic person, and I enjoyed reading about that. I loved this book, and I would highly recommend reading it!

Summary: Spectacular Johnny Tremain
Review: Johnny Tremain is one of the best books I have ever read. This is an interesting historical novel, covering many parts of history such as the Boston Tea Party, and the Battle of Lexington and Concord. It also talks about The Boston Observers. Johnny Tremain also includes historical characters such as Paul Revere and John Hancock. This book is about Johnny Tremain and how he lives in the 1700s and the many obstacles that he overcomes. I strongly recommend this book especially if you like U.S History.

Summary: Johnny Tremain
Review: Johnny Tremain was a great book. It was probably the best book I have ever read. Johnny is a boy whose life changes tragically, which also changes the way he thinks. But his life goes on though his best friend dies. Things don't get any better until he finally learns to stand on his own two feet, like a man.

Summary: Rising above tragic accidents
Review: Johnny Tremain was a book about a boy who had something tragic happen to him. He went looking to find a job that he could do because of his injuries. All the people he approached for a job turned him down because of his bad hand. If you like the Revolutionary War then you would like this book. I would recommend this book for people over the age of twelve because of the hard language. I liked the book because of all the wars, and the war scenes were so detailed it was like actually being there! If I could read this book again, I would.

Summary: johnny tremain
Review: I thought this book was a pretty good! Johnny learned a great deal when his hand got hurt. I think that if his hand would have been mutilated that he wouldn't have had all of his new friends, like Rab and Pumpkin. Though some charators died, I would recommend this book yo other readers.

Summary: Picking up the pieces of a shattered dream
Review: Johnny Tremain is a historical novel about a boy whose dream is to become a silversmith, but his dream is shattered when his hand is burned and he is unable to pursue this dream. Then he has to find work elsewhere and finds himself working at a Boston newspaper called "The Observer." The newspaper publisher and Johnny's friend Rab who works there are members of the Sons of Liberty, a secret group that plots against the British, and so is Johnny. There is lots of action in this novel, such as fighting, shooting, and people being put in jail. So overall I thought it was a good book. I would also recommend this novel if you like historical novels and some good action.
