Fictionalized account of our governments testing on Bikini Atoll and how they stole the land and displaced people for their own agenda. The more of these books I read the more I distrust my government. This was so wrong to do to such a gentle and peaceful people. They did not deserve to be treated in this manner. This book just broke my heart.

An interesting read. As the story progresses, the author also includes historical references that relate to the unfolding events. A good read for a young adult interested in war and history.
