內容簡介

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.

在特殊的時期，似乎總是英雄等大人物會更多地受到人們的關注和銘記。但是這個故事卻並不是這樣，它視角獨特，由普通傢庭的普通少年娓娓道來，和人們分享美國獨立戰爭期間，國傢與國傢之間、父子之間、兄弟之間的不同矛盾與鬥爭，更讓人唏噓不已。
故事中有幾對令人影響深刻的矛盾：一是英國與北美殖民地之間想控製和想獨立的矛盾；二是傢庭之間父親是“保皇黨”支持英國統治，兒子卻是“革命黨”為殖民地獨立而奮鬥的矛盾；三是故事敘述者內心對支持父親還是哥哥的糾結與矛盾。這樣的矛盾本身，就可以讓青少年讀者不由自主地隨著故事進入到那個戰火紛飛的年代，感受到戰爭的殘酷，國傢獨立的意義，普通人民的掙紮與期待……
如果你是Tim，你會如何選擇？如果是遵從自己內心的選擇這樣簡單，Tim又怎會那樣痛苦？
戰爭貌似離和平年代的青少年還很遙遠，這樣的圖書，也許能讓他們內心重歸寜靜，去找尋生活的意義。

作者簡介

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.
