Book Overview

Nip the Buds, Shoot the Kids recounts the exploits of 15 teenage reformatory boys evacuated in wartime to a remote mountain village where they are feared and detested by the local peasants. When plague breaks out, the villagers flee, blocking the boys inside the deserted town. Their brief attempt to build autonomous lives of self-respect, love, and tribal valor is doomed in the face of death and the adult nightmare of war.

Great & Scary

I read this book to my little brothers and they had nightmares for weeks so you may want to preview it before you let younger readers read it. It is a great story though and I was very entertained by the story of a robot who needs human eyes.

The Master Of Young Adult Horror!

John Bellairs is one of my favorite authors and his books are never disappointing. This is a particular favorite of mine by this late great writer. The weaving of myth and witchcraft into that intriguing time period in America when the Atomic bomb was a new thing is just fantastic. The greatest thing about Mr. Bellairs is that his books can evoke a kind of "happy fear" in the young readers that will pick up his books...

The best bellairs book So Far!

This book is a great mystery featuring Johnny Dixon, Byron Fergeson, and the Proffesor. It is about a killer robot, and a new one in the making by the evil/insane Evaristun Sloane. A MUST READ

This was a very exciting book, one of his best

Evaristus Sloane invented a robot that was like a pitching machine a long time ago. But Johnny's grandpa didn't want it because he didn't like the way it's eyes look. Now, crazy Sloane is going to get back at him and he is going to use Johnny to do it!!!!

This is a great mystery

It really flows well, and it explains all of the occurences, except for a strange voice. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a good mystery
