________________________________________________________________
After finishing a session of EPGY, Shreyes went upstairs and started to read "White Sands Red Menace". [3 hours pass]

Then his daddy asked, “Who are the main characters in White Sands, Red Menace?”

“Dewey Kerrigan and Suze Gordon from the Green Glass Sea.” replied Shreyes.

“I didn’t read that one.” said his dad.

“Then check my blog at shreyesnallan.blogspot.com.”

[20 minutes pass]

“I read all your posts including Ellen Klages: Belmont. So let’s continue with our discussion on White Sands, Red Menace. Which place does the story take place in?”

“Alamogordo, New Mexico.”

“Time?”

“1947.”

His dad picked up a paper and wrote:

Main Characters:

Place:

[3 hours pass]

“I did a bit of research with Google and found out that in the White Sands Missile Grounds, also in 1947, a V-2 rocket project was in progress.”

“That’s what White Sands, Red Menace is about. In the first quarter, Dewey lives with Suze and her mom, Terry Gordon (in this quarter of the book, Dewey’s dad was killed in a car crash in the “Green Glass Sea” and her mom had mysteriously gone away somewhere). Once Dewey and Suze get to see a V-2 launch in the White Sands Missile Grounds. Then, Dewey gets a letter from her mom and it was from San Diego. In the third of the quarter of the book, Dewey’s mom comes to Alamogordo on a motorcycle and meets Dewey and tells her story from when she met her husband Jimmy to how she came to Alamogordo on a motorcycle. In the last quarter, Dewey sees a cloud of black smoke from a V-2 launch and talks to her mother who wants to bring Dewey back with her. Dewey tells her mom that she already has the Gordons for her.“
