Publisher Description
Winner of the Newbery Honor! The Revolutionary War comes alive in this contemporary classic for young adults. The War had no clear-cut loyalties--it divided families, friends and towns. Young Tim Meeker's 16-year-old brother goes off to fight with the Patriots while his father remains a reluctant British Loyalist in the Tory town of Redding, CT. Tim’s always looked up to his brother, who’s smart and brave. With the war soon raging, Tim knows he'll have to make a choice -- between the Revolutionaries and the Redcoats . . . and between his brother and his father. Over the course of the war Tim learns that life teaches some bitter lessons and does not guarantee clear answers. My Brother Sam Is Dead is a stirring, probing tale full of action and suspense, putting listeners right into the heart of the Revolutionary War.
Customer Reviews
Good
It’s was a really good book, and I recommend it definitely. There’s a lot of really good information and it teaches a lot. There’s a sense of irony in it because of what happens throughout the book. I’m only giving the book four stars because even though the writing was good and detailed, it lacked emotion. The emotional impact wasn’t there for me personally.
