Beschreibung
It's Saturday, october 27, 1962, the darkest day of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Two children, Ralph and his little sister Lou, are searching for empty bottles in a vacant lot when they discover a rock which--to them, at least--looks quite a lot like Jesus. Ralph immediately declares it a Possible Holy Object. And, since his fondest wish is to be a "e;boy-in-a-story,"e; he earnestly places himself and Lou--now his "e;sidekick"e;--in a tale featuring the "e;sacred rock"e; as the key to nothing less than saving the world from nuclear annihilation. But there's another boy, Toby--older, shrewder, and quite a bit larger--who has very different plans for the rock, intending to use it as a lucrative sideshow exhibit, complete with fliers: Is it Jesus? Or just a rock? You decide! Hovering over the children and their small-scale war is the general anxiety and dread attending the most perilous moment in our history. As we approach the 50th anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisis, John Manderino's The H-bomb and the Jesus Rock provides a unique, children's-eye view of that near-Armageddon.
