Book Review - The Whipping Boy
The fourth book in my 100 Book Challenge is The Whipping Boy by Sid Fleischman and Peter Sis.
Summary: The Brat, as he is called, is the Prince in the castle. Whenever he breaks a rule, his punishment is to watch another young boy, Jemmy, to take a whipping for him. Prince Brat decides to run away one day and Jemmy follows. What ensues is adventure and smart thinking by Jemmy and Prince Brat learning to appreciate the help of others.
My Thoughts: This book was written for ages 9 through 12 and is only 112 pages long. The story was invented and there is a good lesson to learn.
