1945 was a scary time, especially if your father was a scientist working on a secret government project. In Paul Zindel's book The Gadget, Stephen joins his father at Los Alamos, New Mexico, when London, England, where his mother is, becomes too dangerous due to the German blitz. Stephen makes friend with Alexei, an older boy whose family takes care of the guard dogs for the Los Alamos project. Soon Stephen is caught up in a web of secrecy and intrigue about this special project. Even his own life may be in danger!
