This graphic novel tells the story of young Ben Franklin's quest for moral perfection--and relies primarily on his own words to do so! Adapted from The Autobiography and using additional text from Poor Richard's Almanac, readers are visually transported into Ben Franklin's world of printing presses, quills, and beer steins. Franklin undertakes an experiment to try and live out thirteen 'virtues' and achieve moral perfection--with mixed results.
