Book found: The Missing Persons League by Frank Bonham
Published prior to 1985
The characters in the novel surreptitiously operate an underground farm to enjoy a more varied diet than the rationing system allows. I think the character was Brian and he called his secret farm Brian’ World.
Police find rabbit bones in the garbage but character convinces them they were just caught in the wild and that he is not hoarding or producing his own food.
The main character’s dad is obsessed with building a golf club with liquid mercury in the head to make long swings but this is a ruse. The dad uses the golf club to somehow get inside a secret area/space ship. His son manages to get inside too.
The space ship looks like a ship but it is a tactic to avoid let-down to the escapees that they are not actually going to be traveling in space but it will be some other means, time travel or something else, I am hazy on the details.
