Want
a thrill of adventure? This Newbery medal-winning children's book "The Whipping Boy" by Sid Fleischman will actually
give you plenty of it! The story revolves around an obnoxious, ill-mannered,
and self-entitled prince named Prince Brat who is very fond of doing pranks to
all the people around him. Until one day, he made a major prank which got him
into deep water that led him to run away with a boy named Jemmy. The duo both
go into a breathtaking adventure!
I
find the story amazing! The thrilling adventures of a bratty prince and an
intellectual boy certainly took my breath away! The main characters are totally
opposite personalities. Jemmy, whom I find very clever, was my favorite character.
While Prince Brat was a pain to everyone he meets, especially Jemmy. Prince
Brat’s pranks were the reason that Jemmy and him were in this adventure! But just
like any other stories, there are also villains in it. The villains who will
make their lives more challenging.
I
highly recommend this story for children ages 8 to 11 year olds. The book will
not make kids bored to tears because of its short pages and, detailed account
of the adventures that Prince Brat and Jemmy get into, as well as the
troublesome antics that the boys also cause. This story will astonish you and
your friends! Have fun reading!
