Benjamin Franklin was born in extraordinary times. The people of the thirteen colonies were considering rebelling against their English masters, and each person would be forced to choose where they would stand on the issue of independence. The young nation would need brave men and women to stand up to tyranny and take the lead, helping others on the path to liberty and freedom. You may know Franklin's name, but perhaps you've wondered, "What's so great about him?"This book (part of the "What's So Great About...") series, gives kids insight into life, times and career of Benjamin Franklin.
