Boom!

Boom! by Mark Haddon

2010

for ages 8-12 years

Jim and Charlie are regular boys until they overhear two teachers in the teacher's lounge. Mr. Kidd and Mrs. Pearce appear to be normal teachers, but they talk to each other in a very strange language when no one else is around. Out of curiosity Charlie says, "spudvetch" to Mr. Kidd and that's when they know things will never be the same.

Charlie soon disappears and it's up to Jim to find him. With the help of his sister Becky, Jim heads to the Isle of Sky in Scotland with nothing but mysterious coordinates to guide him. What he finds there is beyond belief! Before he knows it he must save mankind.-sc-
