The Green Glass Sea by Ellen Klages

5.0

Dewey is traveling west on a train to live with her scientist father, but no one will tell her exactly where he is. When she reaches Los Alamos, New Mexico, she learns he's working on a top secret government program!

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.

I can’t wait to read this again with my kids!
