There are technically two protagonist in the book I am currently reading. The book flips between Suze's life and Dewey's life; two girls who live in a top-secret place, known as The Hill, where the world's smartest scientist are working together to create a top-secret gadget to stop World War II. The reader only knows The Hill is a place in New Mexico, in the middle of the desert. Every area inside The Hill is guarded and top-secret: guards walking around with guns and scientist being cramped into their labs for hours a day.

Suze lives with her mom and dad in The Hill. She often feels lonely because the other girls on The Hill don't want to play or talk to her, and she doesn't have any siblings. This is something like Suze and I. Of course, I have a plethora of siblings, enough to have our own volleyball team actually, but they are either out or cramped into their rooms. However, something different between Suze and I is, we obviously don't live in the same type of enviroment. Suze lives in a lock down, secluded area where she can't do much, and I live a completely free town that I am able to do anything as long as it is legal.

Dewey only lives with her dad in a tiny and messier part of The Hill. Although Suze's mom describes Dewey's dad as a very important scientist, he doesn't live in the nicer part town. One of the big character traits of Dewey is, she is very involved in STEM, but I guess that's what happens when you are the daughter of a scientist. According to Suze, all Dewey does is spend "every recess at one of the picnic tables next to the playground, fiddling with her stupid radio, or some broken garbage with wires and springs, taking notes about it, like it was homework." This expresses Dewey's involvement and loneliness. 

One big difference between Dewey and I is the involvement in STEM. Unlike Dewey, I greatly dislike math and science because I am not the best at it. I am more into Literature Arts and eclectic arts such as music and painting. Another difference between Dewey and I is she only lives with one parent, and at one time only with her grandmother. However, I live with both parents and have never lived with just my grandmother.
