Time Bomb

Betrayal by the adults in their lives sparks anger and solidarity in 11-year-old Andy and his three best friends. When the boys discover leftover WWII ordnance in their favorite play site, they make a life-changing decision as a result of these injustices. Set against a crisply realized backdrop of post-war Britian, Nigel Hinton's story will hook readers from page one and ignite discussion about right and wrong, prejudice and consequence, life and death.AwardsThe Outstanding International Books for 2007Project of the United States Board on Books for Young People (USBBY) and the Children's Book Council
