About the Book

The Johnson family is traveling to new places. This time, they fly to Boston for a cousin's wedding, and Jennifer Johnson wants her kids to experience some of the town's history while there. Taking a subway for the first time, sampling new foods, and exploring impressive landmarks like the Paul Revere House, the Old North Church, and the USS Constitution anchored in Boston Harbor add fun and discovery of American's early days to this family adventure. Six-year-old Katy visits some famous ducklings in the Boston Public Garden; ten-year-old Bobby helps solve a crime and rescue a new friend; and older brother Joey reconnects with Barby, a girl he met a year earlier, and finally attends a Red Sox game at Fenway Park. These sites and events make their five-day trip to historic Boston one they'll never forget.

Review :
Lost in Boston by Jane R. Wood was an enjoyable read, deftly disguising educational facts in a fictional format to interest young readers. Book 5 of the Johnson family series, it takes the likable brothers Joey and Bobby and their little sister on a tour of Boston. Their enthusiastic mother Jennifer guides them through numerous important landmarks of Boston, blending in a light romantic subplot involving Joey and a Boston girl, as well as a brief crime episode to keep the history from taking over. A visit to relatives in Boston, culminating in a wedding, grounded the trip realistically in the daily lives of children. Jane Wood's writing showed comfort both with children and with the topics the book covered. Joey, Bobby, and Katy had cute little personalities and were respectful of and attentive to their mother. Jane R. Wood has an approachable style that keeps the history light enough for the audience while retaining solid details. I personally have never been to Boston and learned a lot about the city from this book. For instance, I had not been aware before that there was a free African-American community in Boston beginning as early as the 1600s. It shows freedom in this city has a long history. The numerous references to foreign immigrants and Italian food gave a good insight into Boston's immense diversity. I want to try cannoli after reading this! Sites visited included the USS Constitution, Paul Revere's home, the Old North Church, a historic graveyard, and of course wonderful Fenway Park. Lost in Boston really did get me lost in the past of this city. --Readers' Favorite
