Rex Zero and the End of the World

(1) 4-6 At the height of the Cold War, Rex's family moves to Ottawa, where he joins a neighborhood gang tracking down an escaped panther. The present-tense narrative is brilliant in its near stream-of-consciousness depiction of Rex's world. The meticulous plotting sets the enormity of world destruction against the equally cataclysmic concerns of childhood, all magnified through the protagonist's vivid imagination.
