Summary: I didnt want to read it, but i loved it.
Comment: I read, My Brother Sam Is Dead. I liked this book a lot. It is not the usual kind of books I read but I really enjoyed this book. It kept me just wanting to keep on reading it was so good. A lot of unexpected things happened in the story.
All Tim Meeker's life, Tim looked up to his brother, Sam. Sam is very smart and brave and always knows the right thing to do. In fact, everyone in Redding admired Sam Meeker... until now.
Now Sam is part of the American revolutionary army. He talks about defeating the British and becoming independent and free. However, not everyone in town wants to be a part of this new America. Most people are loyal supporters of the English King, especially Tim and Sam's father.
The war is raging and Tim knows he'll have to make a choice. However, how can he choose- when it means fighting his father on one side and fighting is brother on the other?
I would recommend this book to everyone. This is almost all the genres. Mystery, historical fiction, suspense and sad. It's a GREAT book. I hope you read... MY BROTHER SAM IS DEAD.

Summary: Written by a 11 Year Old Boy- Great Book!
Comment: Tim is just an average boy from the revolutionary war period who works with his father and mother in their tavern and goes to school. His brother, Sam (who Tim looks up to as the perfect brother) has been at college for a year and occasionally comes home for a visit. One day Sam shows up on their doorstep in uniform and announces that he has joined the Patriots in the fight for freedom and needs his fathers' gun to fight. Sam's father is a Loyalist who will not help the war against his mother country. He refuses Sam's request for his gun. Sam chooses to take his fathers' gun without permission and then runs away to the rebel army, not to come home for the next 3 years. Tim is now forced to choose which side he is on. This is a war between father and son, between country and people and Tim is in the middle of it. Tim will have to become a man fast, face the cruelties of the world and fight like a man for his family and country.
This book has you hanging on the edge every second. It is a great book because it has battles (which I loved); both oral and physical. I think both types are just as harmful. If you like war books this is the book for you. I give this book five stars. It has great historical value and is beautifully written; an exciting historical war book that can be read by children 10 years of age and up. No other revolutionary war book even comes close to topping this!

Summary: Stupendous Book- A Must Read
Comment: The book "My Brother Sam Is Dead" is a very heart-warming book. It is about family who is broken up by the Revolutionary War. The father is on the British side while his son, Sam, is fighting for the Patriots. It is very dramatic and has some older language. It is also gory and intense. This book is very descriptive in its war parts, which is awesome.
