Anyone out there know of any good fiction/non-fiction novel/short story
that would be informative and interesting to junior high school students
as a follow up to the movie "The Day After".  thanks

Try "Alas, Babylon" by Pat Frank.  The story deals with the survivors of
a nuclear war that live in central Florida.  I think the first time I
read it was my Freshman-Sophmore year in high school, so it should be the
right level.  Also try "Hiroshima" by John Hershey.

"Hiroshima" by John Hershey - a small but effective book;
should be available at any library.  Also, try listening
to the lyrics of "The Sun Is Burning", by Simon and Garfunkel.
