Time Bomb
ByPublisher Description
Seven students trapped in their school after a bomb goes off must fight to survive while also discovering who among them is the bomber in this provocative new thriller from the author of the New York Times bestselling Testing Trilogy. Perfect for fans of This Is Where It Ends.
A congressman's daughter who has to be perfect. A star quarterback with a secret. A guy who's tired of being ignored. A clarinet player who's done trying to fit in. An orphaned rebel who wants to teach someone a lesson. A guy who wants people to see him, not his religion.
They couldn't be more different, but before the morning's over, they'll all be trapped in a school that's been rocked by a bombing. When they hear that someone inside is the bomber, they'll also be looking to one another for answers.
Told from multiple perspectives, Time Bomb will keep readers guessing about who the bomber could be—and what motivated such drastic action.
With everyone a suspect, who can you trust when the truth is the most dangerous weapon of all?
- Multiple POV: Jump between the minds of seven teens—the congressman’s daughter, the star quarterback, the outcast—as paranoia mounts and accusations fly.
- A Tense Whodunit: Everyone is a suspect and everyone has a secret. When the bomber is one of your own, trusting the wrong person is a fatal mistake.
- High Stakes Suspense: With the clock ticking and more bombs threatening to detonate, the students must uncover the truth before the entire school becomes a tomb.
- Relevant Social Commentary: Explores the breaking points of teens facing intense pressure, prejudice, and the desperate need to be seen for who they truly are.
