The Boy Who Saved the Town

Barnaby Sharpe liked climbing trees -- he was practicing to be a ship's captain and would need to climb masts someday. One early evening during the War of 1812 he was sitting in a tall oak tree, hoping to be the first to catch sight of the British warships that were expected to bombard St. Michaels, Maryland.

In an unusual turn of events, Barnaby's tree climbing leads him to a brilliant idea to outwit the British. And that leads to his becoming a hero. This story of a young boy who was smarter than the grown-ups is a great morale booster for children and a pleasure for them to share with their parents.
