My Brother Sam Is Dead

The Revolution was tearing Tim's family apart.

All his life, Tim Meeker has looked up to his brother Sam. Sam's smart and brave, and always knows the right thing to do. In fact, everyone in town had admired Sam Meeker. Until now.

Now Sam is part of the new American Revolutionary Army. He talks about defeating the British and becoming independent and free. But 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. But how can he choose — when it means fighting his father on one side, and fighting his brother on the other?
