Gutači vatre

Gutači vatre

David Almond

Bobby Burns lives with his parents in a sleepy British provincial town, and destruction and loss are getting closer to his home.

Relations at the new school are cold, cruel teachers think that beatings are the best way to learn, and his father fell ill with a mysterious illness, which is a good basis for the disintegration of the whole family. On top of all that, the world is threatened with a nuclear disaster. Because the year is 1962, and the world is on the brink of nuclear destruction. The Cuban armed crisis is at its peak, and Russia and the USA are looking at each other through the crosshairs. Together with his curious friend, Ailsa Spink and fire-eater, illusionist McNulty, Bobby will learn to believe in miracles, and that it is possible to save the people and places he loves...
