Books like Dangerous crossing by Stephen Krensky


In 1778, ten‑year‑old Johnny Adams accompanies his father on a dangerous mid‑winter voyage from Massachusetts to Paris, seeking aid for the rebellious colonies during the American Revolution. Their journey takes them across treacherous seas and stark winter landscapes as they confront the harsh realities of travel and the urgency of their mission. The book illustrates the hardships of 18th‑century travel, the youthful perspective of a child caught in a struggle for liberty, and the historical backdrop of the American Revolution. Heartened by friendship, determination, and the promise of freedom, Johnny’s story is an adventurous, historically grounded tale of courage and responsibility during a pivotal era in American history.
