Eerie historical fiction (or just plain fiction? I'm not sure) that takes the reader back to the Cuban Missile Crisis – and drops the 💣. I loved Fallout's juxtaposition as it flashes between Scott's innocent, childlike worries before the bomb, and the terrifying, complicated days that follow in the fallout shelter. Dark and bleak, this book might be too much for sensitive middle grade readers – but worth the shivers if they're up for it. #ireadya #bookreview #fiction #history
