Fallout

Author: Nick Manns

Very contemporary in tone and endowed with a gripping pace and very deft plotting, this is a book well worth promotion.

Greg, a troubled youngster, reluctantly embarks on a Maths project with Inderjit, a new girl in the class. What they unearth about a Government nuclear cover-up leads him into extreme danger and causes the past to re-visit him with fatal consequences.

Manns allows the disturbing facts to unfold with a blend of time-shift and narrative voices in a way that heightens the reading pleasure. Definitely a must have book to encourage teenage boy readers.
