After an accidental nuclear explosion off the coast of California, Philip searches for his family through a heavily militarized and devastated Los Angeles.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 6-9 In this sequel to After the Bomb (Scholastic, 1985) , teenager Phillip Singer, his brother Matt, and their friend, Cara Sherman, try to locate the boys' father, who was working at the California Institute of Technology when a nuclear attack occurred. While none of the characters is memorable, what is of special note here is the description of the land and people after the bomb, plus the possible procedures one might take in locating a missing person during this type of crisis. ``Faces unnaturally sunburned,'' ``a dirty grey sky'' where ``midafternoon seemed like night'' serve as mild examples of apt description which allow readers to visualize the horrors of the aftermath. A timely story, this Soviet ``accident'' as stated by the Russian Premier could well have been retaliated by the U.S., and at the book's end, readers do not learn of the President's decision. A novel that seems to be carefully researched, and one that should have a wide readership, particularly to those who read the first book.

After the Bomb: Week One is a great action packed story.,
By A Customer
This review is from: After the Bomb: Week One (Point Paperback) (Paperback)
This book is one of the many books that should get more attention than they really get. It is a great book, and I love how the author keeps the story going with plot twists and a surprise ending. After every chapter it makes you want to read it even more. You'll get so envolved in this book that it will seem like your in another world!
