This whimsical biography traces how a loyal British subject spent nearly seventy years and seven not-so-easy steps becoming a fired-up American revolutionary, beginning with young Ben overpaying for a whistle and learning a lifelong lesson in street smarts. Tongue-in-cheek illustrations and real Franklin quotations bring his political awakening to life. This is an engaging choice for students because it turns a familiar founding father into a relatable, occasionally goofy kid who grew into a reluctant rebel.
