I love that more and more information is coming out about the important roles woman have played in crowning achievements of American history.

On a personal note for this one my Grandmother worked on the naval base in Norfolk, VA. Having read this book I now want to know more about what she did while she was there. I know she didn't do code breaking but I'm so very intrigued. Unfortunately she passed in 2004. I may never know.

I want to give this a 3 for format/presentation and a 4 for content. The transitions were sometimes jarring which took me out of the reading.

I feel like the timing was not portrayed well. I wasn't sure how much time had passed overall in Pittsburgh.

There are a fair number of unanswered questions from this book. I hope there are more answers in the next books in the trilogy.

I did like that there was some growth in Natasha to identify that she wasn't being a great friend and to make her apologies to Molly.

This set of books takes Amelia Bedelia back to when she was in elementary school and she has friends. In particular Joy stood out to me because it seemed Joy understood that sometimes Amelia is too literal and instead of laughing she would explain it again in a different way so Amelia understood. I love this empathetic approach to helping someone who doesn't understand.

I didn't realize it was being narrated by Watson. And that Watson was a boy. I'm still not sure how I feel about that perspective. I'm ruminating.

I liked the post apocalyptic western setting. I loved the subversiveness of the librarians.

What a great family! They are supportive of each other. They are kind and considerate. The parents recognize the talents of each child.
