This book is about the Boston Tea Party. This book tells exactly what happened that day, when, where, and why it took place. It also tells about who the people were that were involved.

I liked this book because I think it will be an interesting way for students to learn about history and what the Boston Tea Party actually was. This book has maps and pictures o show what people, places, and things looked like. It does not leave anything out about what happened.

I would use this book in the classroom in a history lesson about the Boston Tea Party. I think it would be fun and making learning about the tea party fun to have the students dress up and act out what happened that day. Instead of tea boxes we could just use tea bags!

Readers are invited to imagine themselves as the fictional George Robert Tweleves Hewes, a middle-aged Bostonian. The chapters follow George as he becomes an active participant in the Boston Tea Party. Each 2 page explains a single event that led otherwise law abiding citizens to rise up against the British government. While the dominant viewpoint is that of the Patriot, the author does explain the actions of the British. Page content is half text, half images. The cartoon like illustrations are bright, colorful, expressive. A “Handy Hint” highlights important information that George will want to be aware of, such as “Throw away any red clothes, in case you're mistaken for a redcoat!” Additional reference aids include glossary and index.

Interesting point of view. Could be used to engage students in a focal study of the Boston Tea Party.
