13. Johnny Tremain

Welcome back to Coach Beard's Book Club. This month we read Johnny Tremain, the book that young Ted's father read for him when he was just a kid. It helped him ace the test he had that day when his dad told him the story of it on the way to school.

We each read it and all came to the discussion with different readings on the book. Topics include: the importance of location, tackling trauma, anti-climaxes, a queer reading of characters, and the importance of true friendships.
