Summary:
"When Christian learns his great-grandfather helped build the A-bombs dropped on
Japan
, he wants to make amends ... somehow. While attending the funeral of his great-grandfather, ninth-grader Christian Larkin learns that the man he loved and respected was a member of the Manhattan Project, the team that designed and created the
atomic
bombs dropped on
Japan
during the Second World War. On a school trip to
Japan
, Chris meets eighty-one-year-old Yuko, who was eleven when the first
bomb
exploded over Hiroshima, horribly injuring her. Christian is determined to do something to make up for what his great-grandfather did. But after all this time, what can one teenager really do? His friends tell him it’s a stupid idea, that there’s nothing he can do. And maybe they’re right. But maybe, just maybe ... they’re wrong."--From publisher.
