Publisher's Summary

Winner of the Newbery Honor, My Brother Sam is Dead brings the Revolutionary War to life in this contemporary classic for young adults.

The classic story of one family torn apart by the Revolutionary War

All his life, Tim Meeker has looked up to his brother. Sam is smart and brave, and is now a part of the American Revolution. Not everyone in town wants to be a part of the rebellion. Most are supporters of the British, including Tim and Sam’s father.

With the war soon raging, Tim knows he will have to make a choice between the Revolutionaries and the Redcoats, and between his brother and his father.

Not What I'd Hoped For...

The Revolutionary War is a favourite topic of mine...and I find much to gain from YA and Children's Literature...but this story, while promising, didn't pull me in let alone hold me as I hoped it would. Estes, "Johnny Tremain" is a better, more engaging story of the same period of history, in my view. #Audible1
