内容简介

All his life, Tim Meeker has looked up to his brother Sam. Sam's 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 know he'll have to make a choice—between the Revolutionaries and the Redcoats...and between his brother and his father.

在特殊的时期，似乎总是英雄等大人物会更多地受到人们的关注和铭记。但是这个故事却并不是这样，它视角独特，由普通家庭的普通少年娓娓道来，和人们分享美国独立战争期间，国家与国家之间、父子之间、兄弟之间的不同矛盾与斗争，更让人唏嘘不已。
故事中有几对令人影响深刻的矛盾：一是英国与北美殖民地之间想控制和想独立的矛盾；二是家庭之间父亲是“保皇党”支持英国统治，儿子却是“革命党”为殖民地独立而奋斗的矛盾；三是故事叙述者内心对支持父亲还是哥哥的纠结与矛盾。这样的矛盾本身，就可以让青少年读者不由自主地随着故事进入到那个战火纷飞的年代，感受到战争的残酷，国家独立的意义，普通人民的挣扎与期待……
如果你是Tim，你会如何选择？如果是遵从自己内心的选择这样简单，Tim又怎会那样痛苦？
战争貌似离和平年代的青少年还很遥远，这样的图书，也许能让他们内心重归宁静，去找寻生活的意义。

作者简介

James Lincoln Collier (born June 27, 1928) is a journalist, author, and professional musician.

Collier was born to Edmund Collier and Katherine Brown. He came from a family of writers and teachers, including his father and several aunts and uncles. He graduated from Hamilton College in 1950. A journalist with thirty years of experience, Collier worked with his brother, Christopher Collier, to create works of historical fiction designed to be fun and educational for children. Christopher Collier was a history professor and gave James historical information so that he could write the stories. Their historical novel Jump Ship to Freedom (1981) has been frequently challenged and removed from libraries because of the use of the word "nigger" by characters in the book.

Collier's notable literary works include My Brother Sam Is Dead (1974), a Newbery Honor book that was also named a Notable Children's Book by the American Library Association and nominated for a National Book Award in 1975. He also wrote a children's book titled The Empty Mirror (2004), The Teddy Bear Habit (1967), about an insecure boy whose beatnik guitar teacher turns out to be a crook, and Rich and Famous (1975), sequel to The Teddy Bear Habit. His list of children's books also includes Chipper (2001), about a young boy in a gang. His writings for adults include numerous books on jazz, including biographies of Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington. He has also contributed entries on jazz-related subjects to the Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians.

In addition to his writing, Collier is an accomplished jazz musician who plays the trombone professionally.

内容也棒。战争中，家庭中的不同成员，分别支持作战的不同方，这样的事情是不是很残酷？好好读读这本书吧。
