		When Paul Zindel died from cancer on March 27, 2003, at the age of 66, the literary world lost its Grand Poobah of young adult doom and gloom, the author of the bittersweet classics The Pigman and The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds.

		The greatest strength of The Gadget is how Paul Zindel communicates, in clear and simple prose, how terribly uncertain many of those "in the know" were about dropping the atom bomb, and the idea that no one--not even top scientists--could really predict what the outcome would be.
		Zindel maintains the page-turning immediacy of his recent novels (The Doom Stone; Reef of Death) while examining a serious piece of WWII history: the making of the atomic bomb.
		In Stephen, Zindel combines a canny mix of innocence and intelligence, and thus allows readers to examine carefully a complex set of questions about moral and political issues and responsibilities.
