She’s now living near the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico with the Gordon family. Dr. Gordon is working on rockets that will someday go to the moon; Mrs. Gordon is working on stopping the Bomb. Meanwhile, Dewey and her “sister,” Suze, share secrets, art, and science as they adjust to high school in an isolated desert town. Then, like a different kind of dropped bomb, Dewey’s long-lost mother, Rita Gallucci, reappears in their lives. And she wants to take her daughter away. 3022092 book 2 10 2008 White Sands, Red Menace total:155|5:36|4:81|3:34|2:3|1:1| 155 613 267 68 5 2 false false Fri Mar 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 18 18:42:08 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 25 20:58:27 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Aug 06 11:40:02 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 06 11:40:07 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Feb 04 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Jun 16 09:28:51 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 16 09:28:51 -0700 2009 Courtesy of B.L.T Reviews: booksandliteratureforteens.blogspot.com
