From the publisher

Once there were four lads…

John [Hancock],

Paul [Revere],

George [Washington],

and Ben [Franklin].

Oh yes, there was also Tom [Jefferson], but he was annoyingly independent and hardly ever around.

These lads were always getting into trouble for one reason or another. In other words, they took a few…liberties. And to be honest, they were not always appreciated.

This is the story of five little lads before they became five really big Founding Fathers.
