Book Description |
| The Minute Boys of Boston follows young George Williams and his friends as rising tensions between the colonies and Great Britain sweep through Boston in the years leading up to the American Revolution. Amid protests, secret meetings, and the watchful eyes of British soldiers, the boys find themselves drawn into acts of patriotism — carrying messages, gathering intelligence, and helping the Sons of Liberty in their push for freedom. From the Boston Massacre to the stirring nights of resistance, George discovers the bravery, sacrifice, and determination required of those who stood at the heart of America’s fight for independence. James Otis brings the birthplace of the Revolution to life with vivid detail and youthful spirit. |
