Sometimes people find friendships in the most unlikely places, and The Whipping Boy is no different. Few would think that Jeremy and the Prince for whom he takes whippings could ever become friends. However, after a hostage situation brings them together, they find they are best friends. Scholars work through resources including new vocabulary words, comprehension questions, and poetry writing.
