" Never really knowing much about our countries history, I was blown away reading this book. It has so much information about the first atomic bomb and the race to be the first country to make this powerful weapon. So many people in our country worked towards the goal of getting back at Japan. While Russia and Germany were also trying to create this piece of mass destruction. A book for anyone looking for a great Non-Fiction genre. "

" Superb, super-suspenseful, thoughtful Sibert-worthy book about the U.S. race against the Germans to build the first A-bomb, the Soviets efforts to steal the plans, and the allied (especially the Norwegian allies) heroic fight to destroy and thwart the German efforts.

" Bomb deserves all those awards it received. It takes a well-known subject and looks at it from a different angle, giving you a much broader understanding of history, and in a very exciting and entertaining package. And it's written at middle-school level. I would recommend this to anyone--even nonfiction haters. "
