Om denne bog
How did Ben Franklin become an outspoken leader of the American Revolution? Learn all about it in seven (not-so-easy) steps in this humorous, accessible middle-grade chapter book focusing on Franklin's political awakening. Famous founding father Benjamin Franklin was a proud subject of the British Empire-until he wasn't. It took nearly seventy years and seven not-so-easy steps to turn Benjamin Franklin from a loyal British subject to a British traitor-and a fired-up American revolutionary. In this whimsical narrative, young readers learn how Franklin became a rebel, beginning with his childhood lesson in street smarts when he buys a whistle at an inflated price. Franklin is a defiant boy who runs away from his apprenticeship, and while he becomes a deep thinker, a brilliant scientist, and a persuasive writer when he grows up, he never loses that spark. As a community leader who tried to promote peace and unity between the colonies and Great Britain, he became increasingly convinced that independence for the American colonies was the way forward. Illustrated throughout with art by noted New Yorker cartoonist and illustrator John O'Brien and sprinkled with quotations from Franklin, this unfamiliar story of a familiar figure in American history will surprise and delight young readers.
