Yolen, Jane and Bruce Coville. Armageddon Summer.

We experience the month leading up to this climax through the eyes of two teenagers who have never met before, Jed and Marina, each of whom have come to the compound out of a sense of responsibility toward their families. Excerpts from sermons, FBI files, camp schedules, and e-mails keep the story lively and suspenseful.
