Book description
Everyone thought, when the alarm bell rang, that it was just another
fire practice. But the first bombs had fallen on Hamburg and Leningrad,
the headmaster said, and a full-scale nuclear attack was imminent...
It's a real-life nightmare. Sarah and her family have to stay cooped up
in the tightly-sealed kitchen for days on end, dreading the inevitable
radioactive fall-out and the subsequent slow, torturous death, which
seems almost preferable to surviving in a grey, dead world, choked by
dust. But then, from out of the dust and the ruins and the desolation,
comes new life, a new future, and a whole brave new world...
