Summary: A Real World Situation That Occurs In Teen's Lives Everyday
Review: 'Sons of Liberty' was a very majestic book. I know a lot of my peers who could relate to the conflicts that occur in this story. 'Sons of Liberty' was writtin by Adele Griffin and was a nominee for the '1997 National Book Award'.I would assume that this book would be intended for 7th and 8th graders; possibly 9th. It wasn't too sophisticated but there were a few arduous, or hard, words. Out of five stars, I would give it 3 stars. The only aggravating thing was that it took so long to get to the main point. I read half of the book before I actually got to the main conflict. When it got to the remarkable incident, the story had meaning with schocking details. It made up for itself and became a pretty good book.

Summary: A Very Inspiring Book
Review: Adele Griffin has a true gift. This novel just grabs you by the collar and pulls you in. Her dialogue is truly inspired. One of the best children's/young adult books I have read in a long time!

Review: As a middle school teacher, I am constantly searching for books like Sons of Liberty. Adele Griffin writes about themes that will grab a seventh grader and she does so with careful attention to each sentence. Not once does Ms. Griffin try to pull a weak sentence over her young audience's eyes.

For teachers interested in this book, Sons of Liberty would fit nicely into a psychology unit or into a unit dealing with the start of the American Revolution.

Summary: A boy in his struggles with his family.
Review: This book is about a boy, named Rock. He lives with his army-like dad, his smarter, older brother, baby sister and his mother who is on the brink of going crazy. The dad is very abusive and treats Rock and his brother, Cliff, like soldiers. Rock believes what his father says when he criticizes the boys. However, Cliff is smarter. He has a plan to try to keep his family together. Cliff plans different ways to make things better for the family. He also helps Cliff and Rock's friends.

Rock is not a good student. His dad has convinced him that school is not important. He finds he really likes History. His history teacher and friend is the only person that understands him him. He has an assignment to write a paper on the American Revolution. Throughout the book, he relates his family and personal experiences to the characters, events and times of the revolution. This book was a 4 star because it's aimed at 5th to 7th grade readers. I'm in ninth grade; it just didn't hold my attention. The plot and characters were interesting but it's definitely a book for younger people.

Summary: The runaways are back!
Review: Why buy a book when you have no clue what it's about? Well I¡¦m going to tell you about a book called
¡§Sons of liberty¡¨ by Adele Griffin. It¡¦s a fiction book and also an adventure. It is 230 pages but the book is a small book.
It is about a boy named Rock Kindle, who has a brother named Cliff Kindle. His mom is named Katherine Kindle, and his dad is named George Kindle. His dad is very mean. He would make Rock and Cliff get up in the middle of the night and tell them to fix the roof or something else. Its called Interrupted Nights. His mom is scared to go out of the house. His best- friend is a girl named Liza Faella. He and his brother help Liza run away from her home to find a boy named Seamus (Seamus lived in New Haven).
When they got to the place where Seamus lived, they couldn¡¦t find him. So they decided to do fun things there when were at New Haven. When they were ready to go back home, Liza decided to stay there.
When they got back, Cliff and his mom wanted to go to their Aunt Louisa without telling their dad because they want to get away from their dad for a while.

The books weakness is that the author didn¡¦t give so many details on the story. The more details, the more the interesting the story is. The strength of the story is that it teaches you a little about the American Revolution, but at the same time the book is an interesting and fun to read too.ƒº

I think the author did a good job on writing this story, but if it had more details it would have been more interesting. I would recommend this story to other people because this story is an interesting story and you can learn a lot from it. The types of readers who would like this kind of book is probably the types of people who likes adventures and people who likes stories with a lesson.
