The book is set during the turbulent period of colonial America leading up to the Boston Massacre, focusing on a group of boys who gather under a significant elm tree known as the Liberty Tree. The story revolves around their fervent desire for justice against British oppression and their youthful actions that culminate in the fateful events of that tragic day. At the start of the book, the narrative introduces a group of schoolboys meeting at the Liberty Tree in Boston on February 21, 1770, during British occupation. As the boys discuss their grievances against the British soldiers, they become embroiled in a scheme to confront a local shopkeeper, Master Theophilus Lillie, who has broken a collective agreement not to sell British goods. Fueled by youthful enthusiasm and a sense of justice, they concoct a plan to warn him by erecting a symbolic figurehead in front of his shop. The opening chapters paint a lively portrait of their interactions, showing the mix of camaraderie and conflict inherent in their gatherings, setting the stage for the unfolding societal tension between the colonists and the British authorities that ultimately leads to violence and tragedy.
