4.0 out of 5 stars
Another good book from "The American Adventure" series.,
This review is from: The Boston Massacre (American Adventure (Barbour)) (Paperback)
This is the tenth book in The American Adventure series. This series tells about the lives of children from many generations of a fictional family throughout American history, from the settling of Plymouth by the Pilgrims through the end of World War II.It's March of 1770 in Boston, and tensions are high, as the Patriots grow angrier each day that British soldiers continue to occupy Boston. Ten-year-old Stephen Lankford is very worried about his impulsive twelve-year-old sister, Lydia, who taunts the soldiers without thinking about the consequences. Lydia, a determined Patriot, accused Stephen of being a Loyalist, but all he wants is for his family to be safe. He feels the family is divided. His two uncles are at odds, as one is a Loyalist and the other a Patriot. Stephen's own father, who owns a newspaper, sides with the Patriots but is against the extreme measures the Sons of Liberty, the group Stephen's older brother William belongs to, want to take. When the Boston Massacre divides Boston even more, Stephen begins to fear his family will never come back together. Readers who enjoyed the other books in the American Adventure series will be sure to want to read this one as well, as it continues the story of the Lankford family from the previous book, "Boston Revolts." I also recommend this book to new readers who enjoy historical fiction about Revolutionary War times. I look forward to reading more books from this series.
