This week we read The Green Glass Sea, part historical novel and part coming-of-age tale, and take a field trip to the Bradbury Science Museum. The book follows two seemingly very different girls during World War II. Both end up at Los Alamos, where their parents are working on top-secret projects for the government. To the rest of the world in the 1940s, this is a place that simply did not exist.
Here in PDF format is the Scholastic teacher's guide for the book.
E. suggests that this book makes a good comparison to Thin Wood Walls by David Pataneude.
