The Bronze Bow is by Elizabeth George Speare. The classic historical fiction tale of Daniel a young Jew living in the time of Christ. When his grandmother dies he must move to the village to care for his younger sister, but he is still driven by his hatred of the Romans and his determination to drive them back to Rome. He is captivated by Jesus and wonders if He is truly the Messiah who will free the Jews from Roman rule. This is not a religious book per se, but it is a powerful tale of hatred, obligation, and ultimately forgiveness. I highly recommend this book. It is old, but every bit as powerful and moving today as it was when it was written.
Ratings: 7th grade - 10 out of 10.
