Summary

The winner of the Scott O’Dell Award, The Bomb is a powerful history lesson and a gripping tale of suspense that no listener will ever forget. In 1946, 16-year-old Sorry Rinamu watches as U.S. Navy warships appear off the coast of Bikini Island. The U.S. Government wants to test the deadly power of the atomic bomb - and Sorry’s island has been chosen as the test site. The young man knows he must stop the Americans from dropping the bomb - even if it means defying orders from the U.S. Government and risking his own life.
