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

Excellent book on the development of the atomic bomb. I learned so much! I had no idea so many spies were involved in the process.  I'm such an optimist I hate believing those things really happen, although I know they do. I just don't like taking off my rose-colored glasses.

This is a Newbery Honor book, and is well deserving of the award. It is also written at the precise level that I needed to be able to learn and understand about the whole event!
