Sam writes the following about Johnny Tremain :
Johnny Tremain is about a boy who gets involved in the happenings/events right before the Revolutionary War. He gets tied up with a group called "The Observers", which leads him on a series of events such as The Boston Tea Party which he is unprepaired for.

It's a good book, but sometime the details get distracting. I would definetly change those details, but other than that the book is pretty good, and I wouldn't change a thing.

It's hard to tell who the major and minor characters are, because you gain and lose so many characters throughout the story. Obviously Johnny is a main character but thats all I can be for sure on.

I'm giving Johnny Tremain a 4 out of 5 or an 8 out of 10, because it's a pretty good book, but it can be slow at times. If you like Historical Fiction stories, or lots of extremely details than this is the book for you.=)=)=)
