There is a children's book entitled "The Whipping Boy" by Sid Fleischman. Perhaps this is the book you are reffering to? This is one of my childhood favorites. I was not aware there was a movie about the book, but apparently there is and it is entitled "Prince Brat and the Whipping Boy". You can find both on Amazon.com. Simply type whipping boy on the search box. As I recall, it was a wonderful adventure storyt hough the reading level may be well below what you are accustomed to. It was one of the first books I ever read (may have been my second or third) and one of the stories that showed me how fun reading can be. |
