The Best Book

I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes history. This book is about what happened in Boston, Massachusetts with the Boston Massacre. The BostonMassacre took place in 1754.There's a law called the Townshend Act and you had to pay taxes on glass,lead paint, paper, and tea. Their was also one called the Quartering Act and with this law, you had to house and take care of the British soldiers. There was also another law called the Stamp Act and with that one you had to pay a tax on everything you had. Last but not least is the Sugar Act and with that law, when you entered the country you had to pay money to be able to come into the country. I'm saying it again, I highly recommend this book. I think it's a five star book.
