Follow an errand boy through colonial Boston as he spreads word of rebellion.

It's December 16, 1773, and Boston is about to explode! King George has decided to tax the colonists' tea. The Patriots have had enough. Ethan, the printer's errand boy, is running through town to deliver a message about an important meeting. As he stops along his route—at the bakery, the schoolhouse, the tavern, and more—listeners learn about the occupations of colonial workers and their differing opinions about living under Britain's rule. This fascinating audiobook is like a field trip to a living history village.
Kay Winters has written several children's books including Did You See What I Saw?: Poems About School and The Teeny Tiny Ghost. Brian Lies has illustrated many children's books including Hamlet and the Enormous Chinese Dragon Kite, which he also wrote. View titles by Kay Winters
