The title of the book is “The Whipping Boy." The author is Sid Fleischman. The story took place in a castle during the medieval ages. The characters in the story are Prince Horace, A.K.A Prince Brat, and Jemmy. Jemmy is a talented kid but he has a bad job as a whipping boy while Prince Brat is obviously a BRAT.
The story started when Prince Brat did a horrible mess but the king called the Whipping Boy
and gave him lashes to his back. Meanwhile, Prince Brat can’t get hurt because he is a prince! The problem began when Prince Brat ran away from home because he was bored, taking Jemmy with him. Suddenly, highwaymen caught them and took them as hostages. The problem was solved when the highwaymen ran away because rats were biting and scratching them. They ran very fast and ended up in a boat heading to prison. In the end Jemmy and the Prince became good friends. The king said to them, “If you run away again, make me come with you."
I think the story is fantastic and amazing. My favorite part in the story is the part when the highwaymen found the Prince and Jemmy in the hot potato man’s cart. They thought that the Prince is Jemmy and Prince Brat was the Whipping Boy. Prince Brat was then tortured by lashes (whip hitting his back). I think the author is an imaginable man with good sense of adventure and suspense. The most valuable lesson I learned from the story is never ever be a BRAT and don’t let everyone do your work or you will suffer the consequences. BWAHAHAHA! GAW!!!
