Young Adult
It is 1943, and 11-year-old Dewey Kerrigan is traveling
west on a train to live with her scientist father-but no
one, not her father nor the military guardians who
accompany her, will tell her exactly where he is. When she
reaches Los Alamos, New Mexico, she learns why: he's
working on a top secret government program. Over the next
few years, Dewey gets to know eminent scientists, starts
tinkering with her own mechanical projects, becomes
friends with a budding artist who is as much of a misfit
as she is-and, all the while, has no idea how the
Manhattan Project is about to change the world. This
book's fresh prose and fascinating subject are like
nothing you've read before.
