The Bombs That Brought Us Together

by Brian Conaghan - £7.99  Bloomsbury Publishing PLC (2017)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781408855768 | ISBN 10: 1408855763

Fourteen-year-old Charlie Law has lived in Little Town, on the border with Old Country, all his life. He knows the rules: no going out after dark; no drinking; no litter; no fighting. You don't want to get on the wrong side of the people who run Little Town. When he meets Pavel Duda, a refugee from Old Country, the rules start to get broken. Then the bombs come, and the soldiers from Old Country, and Little Town changes for ever.
 
Sometimes, to keep the people you love safe, you have to do bad things. As Little Town's rules crumble, Charlie is sucked into a dangerous game. There's a gun, and a bad man, and his closest friend, and his dearest enemy.
 
Charlie Law wants to keep everyone happy, even if it kills him. And maybe it will...
 
Perfect for readers of Patrick Ness, John Boyne and Malorie Blackman.
