Author and National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature Emeritus Jon Scieszka recommends Bomb by Steve Sheinkin. “When people talk about reading, they sometimes forget non-fiction. But great non-fiction can be every bit as amazing (and maybe more – because it’s true) than fiction. Sheinkin’s book about the atomic bomb is a great and exciting telling of an important historical story.”
Bomb (Roaring Brook Press, 2012) is recommended for ages 10 and up.
