DEAD END IN NORVELT  By Jack Gantos

The summer Jack turns twelve in Norvelt, PA, he’s grounded for unintentionally firing his dad’s WWII rifle, but allowed to help Miss Walker, the town historian, type up her obituaries for the paper. Mom’s saving to get Jack’s bloody nose cauterized, and Dad’s building a bomb shelter.

When angry Hell’s Angels show up, and Norvelt’s oldest original residents start dropping like flies, Jack is swept up in a small town’s madcap demise.  1950’s historical, laugh-out-loud, vintage Gantos for 9-13 year-olds.
