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.

Good telling of a family during the Revolutionary War era. Had some foul language that made it not suitable for listening by my 9 year old.

Good story, some profanity.

If you like and Adventure books this is what I would recommend for you this book has action adventure. It gives you a little history lesson as well. I wish though it would tell what happens to Tim's family.but I still give it 5 out of 5 stars because I love the storyline

I love this book!

This was required reading for my fifth grader. The audio quality was poor and I ended up reading it aloud to him myself.

Okay book, poor audio quality

The story is great, a classic. However, the audio was very quiet and difficult to hear. I had to have it at full volume and still strained. An updated version would be appreciated.

Bad audio

Read this several years ago. Very sad, but I enjoyed the story. I am an adult, but there is nothing childish about this book. Good read.

Another excellent book this year
