Young Ben Franklin

Before he was Benjamin Franklin, inventor and statesman, he was just Ben, a boy in colonial Boston with an adventurous spirit, a curious mind…and a penchant for getting into trouble.

Meet the most endearing American Founding Father at 13, a charming rebel years away from discovering the ageless sayings and brilliant inventions that made him famous. When Ben and his friends stumble upon a mysterious letter leading to a legendary treasure, he’ll have to use his wits and bravery to outsmart the cruel British governor of Massachusetts.
