Sinossi
È l'estate del 1962 e Scott, undici anni, si gode gli ultimi scampoli di vacanza giocando a pallone e combinando qualche bravata con gli amici. Ma in piena Guerra Fredda la minaccia della bomba atomica incombe anche sui loro giorni spensierati. Nonostante tutti temano quell'ipotesi, il padre di Scott è l'unico nel quartiere a prepararsi al peggio, facendosi costruire un rifugio antiatomico e accumulando le provviste necessarie per sopravvivere nelle prime due critiche settimane. E una notte di fine ottobre, la terribile minaccia sembra diventare improvvisamente realtà. In preda al panico, tutto il vicinato cerca di infilarsi a forza nel rifugio, qualcuno resta ferito, gli animi si infiammano e alla fine dieci persone si ritrovano stipate a condividere uno spazio e risorse troppo esigue, con la speranza di sopravvivere, e con l'incertezza di come sarà il mondo una volta usciti di lì... Età di lettura: da 13 anni.

I wanted to abandon the main character less than halfway through, and I thought everyone in the book was a little farfetched. I also didn't like the message Strasser put out--that Leggi tutto
4 1/2 stars, actually. I challenge any reluctant reader to be able to put this book down! But I would be cautious about which kids I recommend this book to. Besides the horror of the bomb actually being dropped, there is some other content involving Playboy, kids drinking wine, etc. I thoroughly enj Leggi tutto
Love Todd Strasser; this book-not so much. I kept reading because I thought something exciting and amazing was right around the corner. Sadly, it was not.
I read this one during my summer internship. It seemed like a short read that wouldn't be too heavy, and Fallout was just that! I loved the premise. The Plot is set in 1962, where there is a huge risk of nuclear war. Scott's dad, Richard, is the only one in the neighborhood who builds a bomb shelter. Leggi tutto

this book has two different perspectives of one were the H-Bomb hit and they have to survive in their shelter under ground for a month, the other perspective is were the H-Bomb doesn't hit and they are very prepared for it to hit them.
