The Road to Chernobyl: Ball Boy & Red Cross Girl

By Justin Morgan

Many hands make light work. And for a mess as apocalyptic as this, even teenage hands will do...

It’s 1986, and life in Soviet Ukraine is tough. But with the explosion of a nuclear reactor, things are about to get considerably worse.

The government, battling to play down the worsening crisis, makes promises to those willing to help. For young patriots Alek and Narmin, whose lives are spiralling out of control, it seems an opportunity too good to ignore...

After all, what could be so bad about a little accident at a power plant?

In this prequel to best selling novel The Dogs of Chernobyl, explore a vivid tapestry of Soviet life to see the human cost of secrets and lies -- and to consider whether the catastropic nuclear disaster was a case of history repeating itself.
