Book Reviews of Johnny Tremain
Book Review: Note to Teachers and Parents
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this audio recording of Johnny Tremain for my classroom. It is the unabridged recording of the book and a great value for the price. The CDs track every three minutes, and Grace Conlin does a fine job narrating the story. My students have been able to follow along with the text while listening, and they can easily use the CDs on their own. Personally I much prefer George Guidall's narration (from Recorded [...]); I think that it is a more dynamic and enjoyable recording. However, if you are looking for a basic recording of Johnny Tremain and don't want to spend a fortune, these CDs certainly do the job.
Summary of Johnny Tremain
A story filled with danger and excitement, Johnny Tremain tells of the turbulent passionate times in Boston just after the Revolutionary War. Johnny, a young apprentice silversmith, is caught up in a dramatic involvement with James Otis, John Hancock, and John and Samuel Adams in the Boston Tea Party and the Battle of Lexington; and finally, a touching resolution of Johnny's personal life.This story of a tragically injured young silversmith who ends up hip-deep in the American Revolution is inspiring, exciting, and sad. Winner of the prestigious Newbery Award in 1944, Esther Forbes's story has lasted these 50-plus years by including adventure, loss, courage, and history in a wonderfully written, very dramatic package. It's probably not great for little guys but mature 11-year-olds or older will find it a great adventure.
