(4) 4-6 My Name Is America series. After his family dies, twelve-year-old Will goes to Boston. He is taken in by Mrs. Thompson in exchange for his help around her tavern and becomes friends with a group of Revolutionary War patriots who meet there. The story lacks a focused plot, but Will's journal is filled with many details of eighteenth-century living. The book includes a historical note, maps, and engravings from the time.
