BOOK: The journal of William Thomas Emerson - Denenberg

[Frederick Muller <fmuller@SATURN.PLANET.NET>]

Denenberg, Barry. The journal of William Thomas Emerson, 1998
  The is one of the boy books of the Dear America Series -- this
series is called "My name is America" even though Dear America is
still on the cover.  This is a journal as opposed to a diary which
makes it have a different feel.  What I especially liked about this
Pre-Revolutionary War book taking place in Boston is it's innocent
feel.  It is told from the eyes of a child without all the political
stuff that is added to other historical fiction.  This is very well
done.  There are the usual historical notes at the end along with an
excellent fold-out, historical map of Boston (which I just
discovered.)  If you study the Revolutionary War in your school, you
must get this 156 page work of historical fiction.
