    <![CDATA[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.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[What a beautiful book!  I am so thrilled that it won a Newbery medal.  Daniel (the main character) is aloof, sullen, and passionate - almost enough to become frustrating to the reader... except that he has a tenderness and a deep sense of responsibility that he gives reign to just often enough that ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/29862089">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I enjoyed this book because of the portrayal of the subjection of the Jewish nation to Rome.  They hated it and The Bronze Bow makes it easy enough for a child to understand their contempt.
