"On a spring morning, neighbors Valentina Kaplan and Oksana
Savchenko wake up to an angry red sky. A reactor at the nuclear power
plant where their fathers work—Chernobyl—has exploded. Before they
know it, the two girls, who've always been enemies, find themselves
on a train bound for Leningrad to stay with Valentina's estranged
grandmother, Rita Grigorievna. In their new lives in Leningrad, they
begin to learn what it means to trust another person. Oksana must
face the lies her parents told her all her life. Valentina must keep
her grandmother's secret, one that could put all their lives in
danger. And both of them discover something they've wished for: a
best friend. But how far would you go to save your best friend's
life? Would you risk your own?"—Amazon.com.
