Johnny and the Bomb

Description

Twelve-year-old Johnny Maxwell makes a mistake that sends him hurtling into 1941, where the past is not a story but a living, fragile system of choices and consequences. Armed with the knowledge that bombs will fall on his town, he must decide whether to warn strangers—and risk rewriting history in ways he can’t fully predict. As time travel tangles timelines and motives, Johnny’s dilemma becomes a sharp exploration of responsibility, causality, and the ethics of interfering with events that have already “happened.” With Terry Pratchett’s trademark wit and humane insight, this novel blends adventure with a thought-provoking look at how small actions can ripple through time, turning certainty into uncertainty and heroism into hard-won moral clarity.
