I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!! It' so much fun, it's like you are in the book when you actually get to the middle of it. It's a very Chanukkah kind of thing younger kids would like. My favorite part was when Jonathan and Jason become best friends ,then when the war starts they both join the army thats fighting each other, then they end up fighting each other. I recommend this 100%

It was an interesting book about a greek boy and a jewish boy who become friends. They even fight each other.

The shield of the maccabees is a very good and interesting book. It teaches about friendship and how to defend someone when they are in trouble even though they are supposed to be your enemy. My favourite part in the book was when the two boys became friends and their friendship started to grow and grow until they were the best friends ever seen. I really liked this book and I recommend this book to anyone! I want to read it once again to remember everything once and for all :)

My favorite part about the story is that it was written like a comic book. And I really liked the characters. I wonder if this story is true it seems like it could be and I really, really liked it. I'm going to read it again.

This is a pretty good book. It doesn’t exactly have Hanukkah in it, but it’s still pretty interesting.
