About the Book The Whipping Boy
The Whipping Boy by Sid Fleischman is an adventure novel that won the Newbery Medal in 1987. It tells the story of Prince Horace, known as Prince Brat, and his whipping boy, Jemmy, who comes from a poor background. In the kingdom, it’s forbidden to punish the prince, so whenever he misbehaves, Jemmy receives the punishment instead. The story takes a turn when Prince Brat decides to run away and drags Jemmy along. Their adventure leads to encounters with criminals, mistaken identities, and a series of events that test their friendship and understanding of each other’s worlds.
The novel explores themes of friendship, social class, and the journey to maturity, all while providing a humorous yet critical look at an unjust social convention.

It takes a long time to gather all the data for our new book page format with more useful descriptions, themes, and activity ideas. Meanwhile, this page is active so you can order books; it just isn't quite as informative or graphically appealing as the new page will be. Thanks for understanding! :-)
