Last Evenings with Teresa

* &ldquo;[Philbrick] introduces Benjamin Russell, where he went to school, his part-time apprenticeship at Isaiah Thomas' newspaper, sledding down Beacon Hill, and the British officer who cleaned the cinders from the snow so the boys could sled farther and farther. It is these humanizing touches that make war its own intolerable act. Readers see Benjamin, courtesy of Minor's misty gouache-and-watercolor tableaux, as he becomes stranded outside Boston Neck and becomes a clerk for the patriots. Significant characters are introduced, as is the geography of pre-landfilled Boston, to gain a good sense of why certain actions took place where they did. The final encounter at Breed's Hill demonstrates how a battle can be won by retreating. A crisp historical vignette.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews, starred review&ldquo;Acclaimed historian Philbrick (Mayflower: A Story of Courage, Community, and War) has penned a Revolution-era history for kids adapted from his adult title Bunker Hill. . . . Philbrick adds nuance to the tale through, for instance, Ben&rsquo;s mixed sentiments about the excitement of revolution and the kindness shown to him by a local British officer. . . . The full-color illustrations are full of bright hues, resulting in pleasing grassy fields, morning light flashing off harbor waters, and brilliantly clad Redcoats. Minor depicts the battlefield with motion and smoky haze, yet free of carnage. A convenient map displays the Boston locales referenced. . . . A stirring account of the American Revolution, sure to resonate with elementary students.&rdquo;&mdash;School Library Journal&ldquo;Philbrick&rsquo;s episodic narration and Minor&rsquo;s realistic, engaging paintings combine to depict Ben&rsquo;s experiences. . . . Younger advanced readers and budding history buffs will enjoy this account of Benjamin Russell&rsquo;s youthful exploits.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist &ldquo;In one-to-two page chapters, interspersed with Minor&rsquo;s luxuriant gouache and watercolor illustrations, Philbrick skillfully summarizes the events . . . and effectively contrasts printer Isaiah Thomas&rsquo;s patriotic fervor with Ben&rsquo;s boyish preoccupations. . . . Recreates the tension of the hard-fought Battle of Bunker Hill, as seen through Ben&rsquo;s eyes, and provides a satisfying reunion with his family. . . . Succinct, dramatic narrative.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly&ldquo;Seeing historical events through the eyes of youngsters who were living through them can provide new understandings for today&rsquo;s youth. . . . The paintings capture the time period and the map helps to place the important locations in perspective.&rdquo;&mdash;School Library Connection
