About the Book
Discover the stories of the real people and events that shaped American history in the Real Stories From My Time series. Perfect for book reports with full-page illustrations throughout, these nonfiction chapter books also include historical photos, maps, a timeline, a glossary, and a bibliography at the back. Plus, in each book, an American Girl historical character shares a bit of her own fictional story.
The Boston Tea Party recounts life in early colonial America leading up to the famous tea tax protest that pushed the American Patriots and the British closer to war. American Girl Felicity Merriman shares how she found herself caught in between the two sides of the American Revolution.
My Take on the Book
Rebecca's chapter book does an excellent job of relaying the events that took place prior to the Boston Tea Party, during the tea disposal, and afterwards. The story is woven through a fictional young American girl name Felicity. The reader will gain insight into her feelings and the events as she saw them through journal pages she writes in the chapters. You will be able to see why the colonists felt they needed to dump the tea and defy the King of England during that period of time.
The author highlights certain words in dark print throughout the story. These important words are explained at the back of the book in a well written glossary.
I enjoyed reading this book. As an adult I learned more information about the events of that time in our country's history. Your child will also enjoy this book.
