To be more precise, he gets arrested and tried for a crime he didn’t commit. When everything goes bruisingly, heartbreakingly wrong for Johnny, he crawls to the Lytes for help and gets kicked in the face for it. The Lytes aren’t particularly pro-Johnny, however. The “Lyte” bit means that he is related to one of Boston’s richest, most prominent Tory families that is to say, pro-England. It views the early stages of America’s struggle for independence from the British Empire through the eyes of a young silversmith’s apprentice. The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Paul Revere and the World He Lived In revisited that world in this book, which won the Newbery Medal in 1944.
