This is my absolute favorite stand-alone book. I love books with character development, and this one, in my opinion, is the best. Whenever I read this book, it hasn't gotten old and I always feel satisfied when I finish. I can be able to lean back in my chair and sigh, quite content with my life (😁 I'm serious, this happens to me). I don't know what else to say except that this is my favorite! (and I read A LOT of books...) I think I first read this book when I was 8 and 9 years old and did really like it, but it wasn't until I read it for a second time when I was 11 that I really understand the meaning of the book. And that was when I really loved it. And I hope you guys do too! (Also, Elizabeth George Speare has lots of other good books like Witch of Blackbird Pond and Sign of the Beaver.)

Is revenge ever a good thing? Sometimes in school you want to get back at people for making fun of you, leaving you out of things, not inviting you to a birthday party or simply just being mean to you. This book is a great way to learn love is more powerful than revenge. When you are hurting and feeling angry and sad, it is hard to not seek revenge. Daniel, the protagonist had it worst in this book. It is written during biblical times during Jesus' ministry. He loses his father to the Roman army and runs away to join an outlaw group of Jews fighting against the Romans. He later sees the group stealing from Jews to help their cause and becomes friends with others. He begins to see that maybe this isn't the best way to seek his revenge. Later he meets Jesus.Wow, what an amazing moment that is for Daniel and other characters in the book. This book is great and I couldn't put it down. It is filled with love and compassion and fight scenes. Daniel later learns there is another way to handle the pain of vengeance. A great story.

My 7th grade English teacher assigned my class to read the book, I instantly was in love with it. :)
This was one of the best books i have ever read. I greatly enjoyed the drama and realization from Daniel
This book was pretty lit, I gotta say, but at the same time it was kinda trippy broski!
I love this book.
This book was about a boy named Daniel That lived in a village. His parents died from the Romans so Daniel wanted revenge on them. This book is great and I really enjoyed it.
