_Johnny Tremain_ by Esther Forbes is highly recommended. Life in Boston at the beginning of the American Revolution, through the eyes of a young silversmith apprentice.

CITIZEN OF THE GALAXY by Robert Heinlein

I’m promoting sci-fi for educational purposes. The future is going to be different. We weren’t communicating like this 10 years ago. Sci-fi stimulates thinking about alternative futures. My site is down right now but should be back up soon.
