Product Description
Boston, 1919. It's been a terrible year for thirteen-year-old Joshua Harper. The influenza pandemic that's sweeping the world has claimed his father's life; his voice has changed, so he can't sing in the Boston Boys' Choir anymore; and now money is tight, so he must quit school to get a job. It's not fair!Joshua begins working as a newspaper boy, hawking papers on the street, but he soon finds himself competing with Charlestown Charlie, a tough, streetwise boy who does not make things easier for Joshua. It seems that fitting in is not as easy as it once was. Then disaster strikes the city of Boston. Joshua must do what he can to help, and in doing so he finds the place -- and the voice -- that he thought he'd lost.

 An Awesome Book By Joan Haitt Harlow!!!! May 15, 2007
Joshua's Song by Joan Hiatt Harlow was a wonderful book! Joshua's Song was about a boy named Joshua and he had to drop out of the Boston Boys' Choir to get a job to help his family. He found a job as a news paper boy. He was hiding the idea that he was a news paper boy from his mother cause he thought she would be ashamed. Joshua's Song is a historical fiction book for 5 graders and up! I would highly recommend this book!

Joshua's Song is another touching classic book by John Haitt Harlow.
Josh is having a very tough time. He becomes a newspaper boy. He later becomes a hero. What did he do?
This book was very touching. Josh is a brave kid with a big heart. He realizes what really matters in life.
Josh, of course, is my very favorite character. He seems to be the most miture of all the other newspaper boys. He was only doing the job for money needed by his poor family. NOT for his own needs. He cared for everybody but himself. Thats how he became a hero.
My favorite passage form the book, odly enough, is the last page. "Then holding up a newspaper, Joshua inhaled deeply-and sang out the day's headlines." It is just such a strong sentence.
I would say that this book is very touching if someone asked me. Josh does the hard things that many of us don't have the courage to do. He's put in the hardest of situations.
I have one question though. Is that really possible?
My strongest recomendation for the book; it was sooooooo touching.

Joshua's Song is a really good book to chek into. Josh is just a regular, rotten kid that tries to hep his family. Trying to find a job to keep his family alive, he runs into a few snobby kids. Now Josh is off around working for him. To find out more read Joshua's Song By:Joan Hiatt Harlow.
