Well, I´ll fill you in a little; Steven is a 13-year-old boy who comes to Las Alamos to stay with his father. Now Steven´s father is not just any father he is the lead scientist for ´The Gadget´. The time period in this book is 1944 -1945, and we all know that this is during World War II. Steven´s best friend at the camp is Alexei Nagavatskys. But his maid Sewa thinks Alexei and his family are spies. But how could this be if Alexei saved Steven from the monks who tried to kill him while he was in town?
Steven and Alexei are trying to find out what this ´Gadget´ thing is, because after something goes wrong in the lab and one of the scientists is sent to the hospital in critical condition. This scares Steven because he knows that this could have easily been his dad. This book is a compelling drama that keeps you guessing till the end. Also the ending is surprising to say the least.
. And summed up by saying The Gadget. Currently The Gadget has an overall rating of 8 over 10.
