I had a rare Saturday afternoon while the whole family was away and planned to get so much done... until I started this book and couldn't put it down! Ms. Davies has written a fascinating historical fiction account of a kid's life at Los Alamos during the Manhattan Project, and as far as I know from other reading it is historically accurate. Hazel is an exceptionally bright girl, perfectly likable to the reader, and acts like a normal twelve-year old, but she also has to deal with a very abnormal situation. But the book is also very beguiling because - although I know how the war ended - it's so well-written that I felt like I didn't see it coming, and parents will want to be aware that what is otherwise a charming and compelling read packs a strong emotional punch at the end.
