The Machine Gunners

by Robert Westall

When Chas McGill finds a real machine gun in the wreck of a German bomber, he knows his war souvenir collection is about to become the best in town. But hiding the weapon is no easy task. With help from his friends, he builds a secret fortress to guard their prize. At first it’s all excitement and adventure—but soon the line between playing war and facing it becomes dangerously blurred.
