A group of fourth graders wrote reviews for The Whipping Boy. Here are a few of them for you to enjoy.
Jemmy is a whipping boy and very kind-hearted, but Prince Brat is very mean and a trouble-maker. He plays lots of dirty tricks on people but never gets punished because it’s forbidden to lay a finger on the prince. So that’s when the whipping boy comes in. One night, Prince Brat runs away, along with the whipping boy. It was so foggy you couldn’t see anything. That’s when two rude outlaws popped out of nowhere and grabbed the boys. One man was named Cutwater and the other was named Billy. I’m not going tell you what happened next. If you want to find out more, read The Whipping Boy by Sid Fleischman.
