Bomb

Bomb: The Race to Build—and Steal—the World's Most Dangerous Weapon by Steve Sheinkin

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Perfect non-fiction book for YA.  Sheinkin managed to make it read like a good spy novel.  It was easy to get engaged in reading about the Manhattan Project and Oppenheimer's (and others)development of the atomic bomb.  Although there were far too many people involved to keep them all straight, it still was easy to read and very engaging.  This will make a perfect non-fiction pairing with WWII novels in the Common Core.
