The book Gadget is about a boy name Stephen who has a best friend named Alexei. This book takes place between world war II and the Holocaust. When Stephen and Alexei play in their roof the Germans attack with bombs so Stephen survives and Alexei doesn't pay attention to what Stephen says so Alexei dies. Stephens dad is a high leveled scientist so he goes to New Mexico to try to create something to stop Hitler.


I made a text-to-self connection. I am somewhat like Stephen. I like to explore around with everything. If my dad was like Stephens dad and i was there in New Mexico i would explore everything and do crazy stuff.


I gave this book 3 stars. I didn't really like this book but i didn't hate it. It was alright. It just got me off the book sometimes. Everytime i would read the book i just spaced out.
