Title: The Whipping Boy
Review: In this book Prince Brat is a boy who cannot write or read. Jemmy is the whipping boy who gets the whippings when Prince Brat is misbehaving. Jemmy, who is also called Jemmy of the streets, is given this name by the father of Prince Brat. Prince Brat's father also gives him clothes and plenty of food, and a good home. One day Jemmy plans to run away. When Prince Brat finds out he asks to join him. So then they ran away but end up being held for ransom. I think this book needs a little reality. It is perfect for younger children (like 3-5th grades.) I thought it was not very good because it did not make sense. It needed more details on the characters and the setting. It did not hold my attention and I think it could have been better, and that's why I rate it two stars.
