Description

Young Franklin Roosevelt had it all! A mother and father who adored him. A big house on the Hudson River where he could climb trees and go rafting. He didn’t even have to go to school -- teachers came to him. But he didn’t know much about the outside world, until he became the new boy at boarding school. He wasn’t much of a baseball player, plus he was mocked for being too polite. What would become of young Franklin, even he didn’t know -- until he met the impressive headmaster, Endicott Peabody. He expected “his boys” to make their mark in the world, helping others and serving their country. What a turning point for young Roosevelt, who went on to become one of America’s most influential presidents. Full-color illustrations. Reinforced binding.
