About this listen

 Set in a chilling future that seems more and more possible each year, this unforgettable story asks the question, "When the government becomes too controlling, what does it really mean to be a patriot?"©1994 Bruce Coville (P)2006 Full Cast Audio Anthologies Childhood Education Higher & Continuing Education Primary Education Relationships

Editorial reviews

A spirited rendering of the "Star-Spangled Banner" begins this startling story, which is set in the U.S. in 2041. Spencer Murphy narrates a true-to-life picture of an American family as 90-year-old Great Grand Da laments a new law that forbids the freedoms of religion, speech, and assembly. When an angry and disgusted Grand Da protests in the town's square, his great grandson Donald's fear is audible. Donald questions his relative's right to protest the law and calls to report him to the "uncles" who oversee all citizens (for their own good). A shocking conclusion and a much-less-robust-sounding National Anthem end this disturbing work.
