Amanda Zieba Learning with the Word Nerd | First Chapter Friday The Whipping Boy Chapter 1 Read Aloud @AmandaZiebatheWordNerd | Uploaded January 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Friday, January 13, 2023 - In this week’s First Chapter Friday video I (word nerd Amanda Zieba) read aloud the first chapter of the classic Newbery Award winning novel The Whipping Boy by Sid Fleischman. This book is fiction, but way back in the day, whipping boys were a real thing, can you believe it? Despite that atrocious fact from history, if you came here looking for a funny story, you’ve found it. Be sure to watch the whole video to learn the mystery quote sprinkled throughout the read aloud, one… word… at… a… time.
Book Blurb: A Prince and a Pauper . . . Prince Brat and his whipping boy inadvertently trade places after becoming involved with dangerous outlaws. The two boys have nothing in common and even less reason to like each other. But when they find themselves taken hostage after running away, they are left with no choice but to trust each other. Sid Fleischman's celebrated novel features brief, action-packed chapters and includes black-and-white illustrations by Caldecott Honor artist Peter Sís.
"A rollicking tale of adventure and mistaken identity . . . . Robust scenes and characters are vividly evoked."—Kirkus Reviews
"An 18th century tale about the escapades of a resourceful orphan and a spoiled young prince. . . . Full of adventure, suspense, humor, and lively characters."—The New York Times
