In this summer vacation, my son's teacher required them to read a book in English. Of course there are many famous novels but I know my son's taste. Something like Jane Eyre, Gone with the Wind, Little Prince etc. will not be attractive for them even if they are in Chinese.
I selected three books for him to choose. They are The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Robinson Crusoe and Benjamin Franklin. They may be interesting books for boys, I think. And my son knows Benjamin Franklin well because my son is interested in science and he knows Benjamin Franklin a scientist more than a President. I am suprised that finally he chose Benjamin Franklin but perhaps he wants to know more about his career in science?

That is a good book to choose. Books about real people's lives are always interesting.

Did he read anything before about Benjamin Franklin ? May be he wanted to know about the him as a scientist.

i guess it's because he likes science and inventions and building things.
tom sawyer and robinson crusoe is more about adventures and travel but in the old days, not modern times and your son is used to traveling in modern times.

Hope he enjoys the book about Benjamin Franklin @youless
Read some things about him and it seems that man was quite a scoundrel, but guessing they won't have all of that in the book he will read.
