(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Elizabeth Thayer. While waiting for his older brother to return from the war, twelve-year-old Jeremy adjusts to his mother's death from influenza, gets into a disagreement with his father, and runs away to Boston--where he helps save a trapped fireman during the Great Molasses Flood of 1919. Though the characters and rather naive writing style might seem old-fashioned to modern readers, Jeremy is engaging and the father-son relationship is believable.
