Very quick read that commands attention because of the subject at hand.
Taking place during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the story follows how the MC's father has built a bomb shelter for four, yet ends up with ten when disaster strikes. Low on food, resources, and with depression sinking in, the ten people must work together and survive or, ultimately, die.
Very heartwarming, and what I would call a typical middle-grade novel, had it not been for the rich history behind the story. That being said, it was definitely a book that you should pick up and take a peek at if you have time and are interested in historical happenings. Only took me about an hour to finish.
