INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Klages, Ellen

The Green Glass Sea

(1) 4-6 In 1943, ten-year-old Dewey's dad is working at Los Alamos with hundreds of other scientists and their families. Klages evokes both the big-sky landscape of the Southwest and a community where "everything is secret," focusing on the society of the children who live there. History and story are drawn together with confidence in this intense but accessible page-turner.
