Twelve-year-old Nathan Carter never imagined an ordinary day of helping his father make deliveries through the streets of Boston would become a day he would remember forever.
As tensions grow between the people of Boston and the British soldiers stationed in the city, Nathan finds himself asking questions about fairness, truth, and courage. Then, on a cold March evening in 1770, he witnesses one of the most important moments in American history; the Boston Massacre.
Through the weeks that follow, Nathan learns that history is more than dates in a book. It is made by ordinary people facing extraordinary moments. As he watches his city mourn, follows the famous trial, and discovers the power of newspapers to preserve the truth, Nathan begins to understand why honesty, justice, and careful listening matter.
Richly woven with authentic historical details, The Night Boston Stood Still brings colonial Boston to life for young readers while introducing the people, places, and events that helped shape American history.
Perfect for readers ages 9-12, this engaging historical novel includes a glossary to help explore the world of colonial Boston.
