Johnny Tremain

This book was written by Esther Forbes. It is about a teenage boy named Johnny Tremain who has no parents anymore and is an aprentice silversmith to old Mr. Lapham. He is very good at the trade until one day he gets a teribble injury. How can he go on with his work?
Johnny gets swept up in politics, the Boston Tea Party, The Battle of Lexington, and Paul Revere's famous night ride. One of my favorites.

Betsy's busy Summer

This book was written by Carolyn Haywood. It is about Betsy, the same Betsy as in B is for Betsy and all of those books except this is her summer stories, whereas those were her school stories as I categorize them. In this book, Betsy's next door neighbors the Jacksons are putting up a swimming pool. This in itself was enough to make all Betsy's friends very excited, especially when Mr Jackson said they could all swim in it when there was water in it. But to ad to that, Billy decided that the sidewalk was hot enough to fry an egg on, and he and Betsy made a lemonade stand with their very own "Razburyaide", only five cents a glass.
I recommend this book to anybody who likes selling lemonade(the "make your own" type), eating watermelon, swimming, or going shopping by yourself.
