MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--“The Bunker Diary,” British author Kevin Brooks’s provocative and pulse-pounding young adult novel, is available as of March 1, 2015, in the United States from Carolrhoda Lab™, an imprint of Carolrhoda Books, a division of Lerner Publishing Group. In June 2014, “The Bunker Diary” was awarded the CILIP Carnegie Medal, a prestigious award for children’s and young adult books in the UK.
Linus is just a normal teen runaway — or so he likes to pretend — when a man in a van hauls him away and puts him in the ground. But Linus isn’t dead. No, he’s trapped in an underground bunker, and one by one five more inmates join him.
People are really quite simple, and they have simple needs. Food, water, light, space, privacy. Maybe a small measure of dignity. A bit of freedom. What happens when someone simply takes all that away?
“The Bunker Diary” is a gripping, award-winning novel that explores what happens when your worst nightmare comes true.
Praise for “The Bunker Diary” by Kevin Brooks:
"[Kevin
Brooks’s] pacey plots . . . have made him a cult among teens. This,
though, is the big one. It should be read by everyone."—Amanda Craig, The
Times of London
