Time Bomb is, simply, a superb book that I unreservedly recommend. Great characters - schoolboys during a long hot second world war summer - in a riveting situation: they find an unexploded bomb in the piece of land they treat as a playground. The bomb is the catalyst for everything; but around the schoolboys spins the rest of the world - their arguing secretive parents, their teachers and choirmasters, and best (or worst) of all, the engimatic Cap, who works his way into their friendship and enlists their support. While the plot works perfectly, the period details are just as good. Though ultimately meant for teenagers, I'd recommend this book to anyone. In a world of adults who read Harry Potter without shame, there surely must be a small space on large bookshelves for Time Bomb. Bravo!
