![]() ![]() As Johnny gets to know the Sons of Liberty and runs messages for Mr. Lorne, the printer of The Boston Observer, a paper staunchly dedicated to the cause of America’s liberty. Lapam as a promising, but prideful, silversmith, Johnny must find his own way when his hand gets burned too badly to allow him to perform the delicate silver work of which he was so proud. It also sums up some of Johnny Tremain’s own transformation throughout the book. This ringing sentiment espoused by James Otis near the end of Johnny Tremain sums up the driving force behind the brave acts the Sons of Liberty and the Minute Men performed during America’s birth. Recommended For: All ages as a read aloud, ages 10 and up as an independent read HMH Books, 2011 (originally published 1943). ![]()
