Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as the dome comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when -- or if -- it will go away. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDale Barbara, Iraq vet and now a short-order cook, finds himself teamed with a few intrepid citizens -- town newspaper owner Julia Shumway, a physician's assistant at the hospital, a select-woman, and three brave kids. Against them stands Big Jim Rennie, a politician who will stop at nothing -- even murder -- to hold the reins of power, and his son, who is keeping a horrible secret in a dark pantry. But their main adversary is the Dome itself. Because time isn't just short. It's running out.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scribner Book Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439148501\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1088\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.40w x 2.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Colorado Blue Spruce Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2009 pg. 62\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2009 pg. 10\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2009 pg. 107\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/14\/2009 pg. 24\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/21\/2009 pg. 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/06\/2009 pg. 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/08\/2009 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/16\/2009 pg. 51\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2009 pg. 26\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/04\/2009 pg. 98\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/28\/2009 pg. 68\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBookPage\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e135687 \/ Under the Dome\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.1 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 50\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Stephen King","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36650932338844,"sku":"9781439148501","price":29.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_027d9a9f-7b06-4526-8009-ea95a852a2c4.jpg?v=1603876428","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/under-the-dome-9781439148501","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
