JAMES PRINTER : A NOVEL OF REBELLION
New York : Scholastic, 1997.
IL YA
ISBN 0590163817
This novel tells the fictionalized story of James Printer, a printer's apprentice who lived in Massachusetts during the late 1600's. James was sent to live with Stephen Green who was a master printer. James was an excellent student and, as a young man, his skills were almost equal that of his teacher. In the year 1675, James finds himself in a very precarious situation. The Indian chief known as King Philip has declared war on the English. King Philip has demanded that James return to the Indians to fight against the English. How can James take up arms against the people who raised him and against the society that her feels he belongs in? How could the once-friendly English neighbors now look at him as if he had suddenly become less than human? Join James as he tries to live peacefully in both worlds.
