Time Bomb by Joelle CharbonneauMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
School is preparing to start with students and teachers visiting the local high school for various reasons. Diana is a senator’s daughter and everyone expects her to be perfect. Frankie is the captain of the football team and he is keeping a secret. Cas loves her clarinet and is tired of trying to be accepted. There is also someone who doesn’t want to be ignored anymore, a boy who recently lost his mother who is looking to make a point and a young man who wants to be seen as a person and not as a Muslim. These teens may be different, but on this fateful morning they have one thing in common; they are trapped in their school after a series of bombs are detonated. Is the bomber still in the building? Is the bomber one of them?
Time Bomb is a stand-alone novel that keeps the reader turning pages throughout. Although there are several main characters, their stories are expertly pulled into one greater story and readers will easily be able to follow the connections. Charbonneau has left the genre of post-apocalyptic literature and has crafted a realistic fiction novel to delight most readers. Time Bomb is a great book that I recommend to all readers who enjoy a good young adult novel.
