About This Book Ben Buck and his family spent four years clearing the wilderness to build a new home in Pennsylvania. They fought the Indians and the British, and made sacrifices most people wouldn't have been strong enough to make. All so they could be independent and free. Now someone's trying to take everything away from them: their land, their home, even Ben's best friend, Joe. But the Bucks won't give up without a fight, and Ben knows his family will have to win a war to stay free. But what he doesn't know is that wars sometimes last a very long time. And even if you win in the end, you can lose almost everything along the way.

The Bloody Country is a great book that changed my atitude about reading. I used to hate reading class but after I read this book, I now love reading. I actually am not mad when my parents tell me to read because I kinda like it now. I think that every-one should read this book because it is action packed and it gives good information on the history of Pennsylvania.

When I started this book I thought oh here we go,just another boring book. But when I started I thought wow this book is really good. All through the summer, my parents were trying to get me to read the book that I had to for school, but I wouldn't because i hated reading until now. I don't know what happened but after this book I loved reading. I highly reccomend this book because it's awsome.
