A Game of Plots Ben Egginton

'Remember, remember, the fifth of November, the Gunpowder treason and plot; I know of no reason why the Gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.'For four hundred years the threat of the Gunpowder plot had been laid to rest. Until one Halloween night when a YouTube stunt went wrong, resurrecting the plot's charismatic mastermind. Now the infamous Robert Catesby intends to finish what he'd started: blow up the government of the realm and rule it in their place. As the fifth of November looms, the only thing standing in his way are a group of local schoolkids in search of adventure. They are swimming out of their depth, and they know it. But they do have one thing in their favour. Born in the twenty-first century, they're fighting on home soil with the aid of science and technology. Their foe? He has the faith of God.
