In the story, eight-year-old Joshua devises a plan to help his best friend’s poor family create a chocolate house in Boston during the week leading up to the Boston Tea Party. The Boston Chocolate Party is a work of historical fiction about this son of Newport, Rhode Island and his father, a trader. Joshua’s father has been importing chocolate to the American colonies as a favored alternative to tea. With historic irony, the Boston Tea Party of December 16, 1773, coincides with the last night of Hanukkah. In The Boston Chocolate Party, a narrative of redemption and celebration, the reader learns about the parallel stories of freedom sought by the American colonists and by the Maccabees.
