Summary
When the U.S. government decides to test atomic bombs on the island of Bikini Atoll, its residents are told to relocate for only two years, but sixteen-year-old Sorry Rinamu believes that the true danger is being hidden from them.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
It is 1946, a year after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and World War II is over. But the U.S. government has decided that further tests of atomic bombs must be conducted. Bikini Atoll is chosen for the testing site, so the people who have lived there for generations must be relocated for two years. Sixteen-year-old Sorry Rinamu believes the Americans are lying and that it will never be safe for his people to return. He must find a way to stop the first bomb before it is dropped . . . even if that means risking his own destruction. This chilling novel is based on the true story of atomic weapons testing at Bikini Atoll in the western Pacific Ocean. âÂÂA haunting, soundly researched work.âÂÂ--Publishers Weekly
