''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.
