The Bomb

Theodore Taylor

Publisher:Harcourt Paperbacks

Winner of the Scott O'Dell Award for Historical Fiction

Sorry, a 14 year old boy, lives on Bikini Atoll, a small island in the Pacific Ocean. Sorry thinks the worst thing in his life is that the Japanese have taken over their island. Then the American's come and free the islanders from the Japanese. That must mean the Americans are wonderful and good right? Sorry certainly thinks so - for a couple of months at least. Then the American's tell Sorry and everyone in his village that they will have to be relocated to another island for Atomic Bomb testing. Suddenly the American's are not the good people they once were. Can Sorry and his family make a stand against the American's and get their island back?
