All right people, and Internet at large, I have a request: I'm looking for children's books (chapter or picture) that are either set entirely or have key scenes set in Boston.
Ones I've thought of already:
Make Way for Ducklings (Robert McCloskey) - Obviously.
The Trumpet of the Swan (E.B. White)
You Can't Take a Balloon into the MFA (Jacqueline Preiss Weitzman)
Help me add to the list? I need ~7 more.
EDIT Suggestions:
Johnny Tremain (Esther Forbes)
The Fifth of March (Ann Rinaldi)
Zachary's Ball (?)
Oh Boy, Boston! (Patricia Reilly Giff)

Little Women - it's in Concord but I'm sure that when Meg goes to Vanity Fair, Vanity Fair is Boston
