A charming story about a very smart girl who likes to do "boy" things such as building stuff and inventing things. She's small for her age, a tomboy, and is very lonely. She finds friendship and mischief living at the Los Alamos national laboratory during the Manhattan Project and we learn about life during those times from the perspective of a child.

Beautifully written and poignant.
