My Brother Sam is Dead


My Brother Sam is Dead by James Lincoln & Christopher Collier


Set during the Revolutionary War, this book is about a boy named Tim Meeker whose brother, Sam, is fighting with the Patriots against the Lobsterbacks(British). Tim's father is a Tory or pro British and doesn't approve of Sam fighting with the Patriots. Tim doesn't know whose side he's on since he doesn't understand what the war is about. The ending is rather ironic but also very tragic. It's a have to read book for anyone with a thirst for history.
