520    "On a spring morning, neighbors Valentina Kaplan and 
       Oksana Savchenko wake up to an angry red sky. A reactor at
       the nuclear power plant where their fathers work--
       Chernobyl--has exploded. Before they know it, the two 
       girls, who've always been enemies, find themselves on a 
       train bound for Leningrad to stay with Valentina's 
       estranged grandmother, Rita Grigorievna. In their new 
       lives in Leningrad, they begin to learn what it means to 
       trust another person. Oksana must face the lies her 
       parents told her all her life. Valentina must keep her 
       grandmother's secret, one that could put all their lives 
       in danger. And both of them discover something they've 
       wished for: a best friend. But how far would you go to 
       save your best friend's life? Would you risk your own?" --
