The Machine Gunners Robert Westall Macmillan Children's Books

\'Some bright kid\'s got a gun and 2000 rounds of live ammo. And that gun\'s no pea-shooter. It\'ll go through a brick wall at a quarter of a mile.\' Chas McGill has the second-best collection of war souvenirs in Garmouth, and he desperately wants it to be the best. When he stumbles across the remains of a German bomber crashed in the woods - its shiny, black machine-gun still intact - he grabs his chance. Soon he\'s masterminding his own war effort with dangerous and unexpected results . . . The Machine Gunners is Robert Westall\'s gripping first novel for children set during World War Two and winner of the Carnegie Medal. Now with a brilliant cover look celebrating its fortieth anniversary. Includes a bonus short story - \'The Haunting of Chas McGill\' - and an extended biography of the author.
