INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Davies, Jacqueline

Where the Ground Meets the Sky

(3) 4-6 In this well-crafted first novel, Hazel and her parents live in Los Alamos, New Mexico, because of her father's work on the Manhattan Project, where security precautions and hastily transferred lives are described in convincing detail. Her mother's pacifism and her friends' exploits with amateur radio and other risks complicate Hazel's emerging ethos; though her family returns home to New Jersey in the end, they'll never be the same.
