505 0 $a'Some bright kid's got a gun and 2000 rounds of live ammo. And that gun's no peashooter. It'll go through a brick wall at a quarter of a mile.' Chas McGill has the second-best collection of war souvenirs in Garmouth, and he desperately wants it to be the best. When he stumbles across the remains of a German bomber crashed in the woods -- its shiny, black machine-gun still intact -- he grabs his chance. Soon he's masterminding his own war effort with dangerous and unexpected results ... not just the best book so far written for children about the Second World War, but also a metaphor for now. -- Aidan Chambers, Times Literary Supplement.
520 $aChas McGill is living in WWII Britain. He has the second-best collection of war souvenirs, only rivalled by Boddser Brown. Chas wants to beat Boddser more than anything, and his search for the ultimate souvenir leads him into the woods where he finds a crashed German bomber-with its machine gun still attached.
