*"A moving, vivid, and well-written picture of the spiritual vs. the material, vengeance vs. love." (School Library Journal, Starred Review )
Product Description
In this Newbery Medal-winning novel, Daniel bar Jamin is fired by only one passion: to avenge his father's death by crucifixion by driving the Roman legions from his land of Israel. He joins an outlaw band and leads a dangerous life of spying, plotting, and impatiently waiting to seek revenge. Headstrong Daniel is devoid of tenderness and forgiveness, heading down a destructive path toward disaster until he hears the lessons taught by Jesus of Nazareth. With a brand new cover, young readers won't be able to pass up this timeless tale.

Way better than The Witch of Blackbird Pond!,
By Mocha Chip (Southern California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bronze Bow (Paperback)
The author of this book, Elizabeth George Speare, also wrote The Witch of Blackbird Pond. Both of them won a Newberry Medal. This book is so much better than "Blackbird Pond". It kept my attention and I couldn't put it down! The book taught lessons of leadership, patience, care, and love. It wasn't a romantic book but it was more about loving the people that matter to you and also loving your enemies.I have recently been reading Tom Clancy novels that teach nothing of the sort but I found this book at a bookstore warehouse that was going out of business and I decided to give it a chance even though I didn't like my previous experience with the author. Everyone deserves a second chance, right? I am very glad that I chose to read this book and I think that you are missing out if you don't read it.

The Bronze Bow,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bronze Bow (Paperback)
Adventure, bloodshed, romance, love, and religion. The Award winning novel, The Bronze Bow, by Elizabeth George Speare, combines all of these components. The story, which is set in Galilee in the year 31 A.D., tells of a boy named Daniel who is caught between fighting the Romans, whom he hates, and following the teaching of love from Jesus. Daniel is forced to choose and his decision will affect the rest of his life. The combination of historical accounts, biblical accounts, and the author's diction, creates a vivid picture, and a new mystery is unfolded with each turning of the page.

A 6th Grade Review of the Bronze Bow,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bronze Bow (Paperback)
In The Bronze Bow by Elizabeth George, a Newbery book, a young boy named Danniel is in a town conquered by Romans. He is in a group of people who are trying to build an army strong enough to drive the Romans out of Israel. He is on a mountain with a bunch of bandits when he meets two village children named Joel and Thace who become good friends.He asks them to tell a man named Simon to come up to the mountain. When Simon comes he takes Danniel to church to see someone named Jesus who is a preacher. Eventually the children start a band of rebels. As the teacher Jesus becomes popular Simon joins him. Danniel meets Jesus a couple of times and Jesus says that only if he worships God will he be rid of the Romans. As Danniel struggles to do what's right his sister falls ill. Thace finds Jesus and brings him to Danniel's house. Jesus heels Danniel's sister Leah. When Jesus heels Leah it convinces Danniel that hate is not the way to live. This relates to my theme of survival because of Danniel trying to survive in the Roman Empire.
