I was a bit reluctant to read this since it's listed as a children's book. It does involve two girls who are living in Los Alamos at the time of WWII and the development of the atomic bomb. The war is a secondary matter and the bomb is not a major issue except that the parents of the children are scientists working on the development.

The friendship that develops between Dewey and Suze is fraught with some rough spots but has a good ending and I'm definitely looking forward to the sequel White Sands, Red Menace.
