Finding a book I read

[Copy link]

Was wondering if anybody knew of a website (or anything) that helps you find a book you have forgotten the title of.

Please bear in mind the book I am refering to was a book I read when I was around 14-15 it wasn't a teenage book but a book my dad got from the library that I then read I loved it but have forgotten the title and the name of the main protagonist although I do know his initials were JC because there is a referece to Jesus Christ in there, basic story goes along the lines of all people over the age of 16 (I think) have gone crazy and started to kill all the under 16's.

Any help finding this book would be much appreciated.

The only book that comes roughly close to that description (I can think of) is "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee.

Have you read this?  Whilst it is a great book it is clearly not the one the OP is looking for.

Sounds more like Children of the Corn (by Stephen King) than To Kill a Mockingbird, which it most certainly is not (I wonder if this was suggested as a joke, though).  Perhaps more than a little John Wyndham in there, too.

But specifically, I don't know I'm afraid.  Need more details!

EDIT: Children of the Corn is a short story, by the way, but I think it was first published as part of a collection.

Cheers mate, I know it is not children of the corn though.

I regards to details mate I read this book around 17 years ago so the best I can do is what I have already written -

Main story is that all adults over the age of 16 (again I think) have started to kill anybody under the age of 16, I can remember the 1st chapter being about how the main character finds his younger brother dead and he thinks it is a boy he hates from school who has done it, the only other detail I do remember is the main character intials are JC as I say there is a reference to Jesus Christ.
