Review

This book is one of the "You Choose Books," part of the "Interactive History Adventure" series. The book begins by setting the stage briefly in colonial Boston in 1770. Tensions are on the rise as British soldiers arrive and parade through the streets. Readers are presented with three options: be a 13-year-old apprentice to a wigmaker, serve as a British soldier, or be John Hancock's maid. When they make a choice, readers are directed to the pages of the book that describe the chosen adventures, with each episode concluding with choices such as "distribute the handbills" or "toss the handbills" for the wigmaker and "stay in the army" or "desert" for the soldier. The text is accompanied by small illustrations that reinforce the action of the text. Back matter includes a timeline, reading suggestions, internet sites, a glossary, a bibliography, and an index.-- "Children's Literature Comprehensive Database"

This is a novel way to present and involve students in historical events. Using an interactive format similar to the Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books, Raum takes the reader to colonial Boston in 1770. Experience the Boston Massacre from three points of view Points of view. After the background is set, the reader may opt to be a 13 year old apprentice, an English soldier or John Hancock's maid. Students who follow all the paths will see the history from both sides. This book can appeal to both boys and girls because of the character choice. Additionally it will appeal to more reluctant readers as well as younger children who may be interested in the topic. Illustrations come from archival collections such as the Library of congress, Corbis and Getty Images. Back matter includes a timeline, a list for further reading, FactHound internet site using book ID, glossary, bibliography and an index This is part of the Interactive History Adventure series which include books on the Alamo, the Titanic, California Gold Rush, the dust bowl and immigration from various countries. These are probably not the best source for reports, but they do engage the reader and help them live the history. 2008 Young Adult Top Forty Nonfiction Title-- "Pennsylvania School Librarians Association"

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally Books my son wants to read (and even re-read)
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2010

I bought a handful of these hoping they wouldnt just be another failed attempt to get my youngest (11 year old son) to actually want to read. Well these books brought success. He gets to interact with the book by making choices so hes even excited to re read the books that hes finished to see what happnes when he makes differant choices...the best part is they are based on true events so he is learning history and not just reading for fun. Will be buying lots more of these.

This was a really fun book to read with my five-year-old granddaughter. It introduced some history and gave her choices so that she could think about the young protagonist in the book. Well-written in a straight-forward style. I would highly recommend this series of books to read to children to give them a sense of history and how the written word can be exciting.
