“Disney makes another book-movie in 1957 with u0026quot;Johnny Tremain,u0026quot; based on Esther Forbesu0026#39; award-winning novel of the same name. It is about a boy named Johnny Tremain, who worked as an apprentice until his hand touched hot molten silver. Now he had to find a new job, until he decided to go into battle. This had taken place in Boston back during such wonderful events in history like the Boston Tea Party and the invasion of the British (One if by land, Two if by sea).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI have read this book in Calvert School back in 7th grade, I believe. It was such a wonderful book; my mom even enjoyed it, too. Our library had a classroom version of this movie on DVD (although a regular version can also be purchased), and we had just checked that movie out and we enjoyed it so.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Johnny Tremainu0026quot; is real good Disney, indeed: a great book made into a great movie portraying terrific American history.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTen stars.”
