Book ID/图书代码： 11516013B62853
English Summary/英文概要： In 1903, five truly brilliant young inventors, the children of the world’s most important scientists, went about their lives and their work as they always had.
But all that changed the day the men in black arrived.
They arrived to take twelve-year-old Jasper Modest and his six-year-old sister, Lucy he with his remarkable creations and she with her perfect memory from their London, England home to a place across the ocean they’d never seen before.
They arrived to take nine-year-old Wallace Banneker, last in a long line of Africa-descended scientists, from his chemistry, his father, and his New York home to a life he d never imagined.
Twelve-year-old Noah Canto-Sagas, already missing his world-famous and beloved mother, was taken from Toronto, Canada, carrying only his clothes, his violin, and his remarkable mind.
And thirteen-year-old Faye Vigyanveta, the genius daughter of India’s wealthiest and most accomplished scientists, was removed by force from her life of luxury.
From all across the world, they’ve been taken to mysterious Sole Manner Farm, and a beautiful but isolated schoolhouse in Dayton, Ohio, without a word from their parents as to why. Not even the wonderful schoolteacher they find there, Miss Brett, can explain it. She can give them love and care, but she can t give them answers.
Things only get stranger from there. What is the book with no pages Jasper and Lucy find in their mother’s underwear drawer, and why do the men in black want it so badly?
How is it all the children have been taught the same bizarre poem and yet no other rhymes or stories their entire lives?
And why haven’t their parents tried to contact them?
Whatever the reasons, to brash, impetuous Faye, the situation is clear: They and their parents have been kidnapped by these terrible men in black, and the only way they’re going to escape and rescue their parents is by completing the invention they didn’t even know they were all working on an invention that will change the world forever.
But what if the men in black aren’t trying to harm the children? What if they’re trying to protect them?
And if they’re trying to protect them, from what?
An amazing story about the wonders of science and the still greater wonders of friendship, The Atomic Weight of Secrets or The Mysterious Men in Black , the first book of the Young Inventors Guild trilogy, is a truly original novel. Young readers will forever treasure Eden Unger Bowditch’s funny, inventive, poignant, and wonderfully fun fiction debut.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 1903年，有5个真正才华横溢的年轻发明家，这些孩子是世界上最重要的科学家，总是关心他们的生活和工作。
当黑衣人到来后，一切都改变了。
他们到这里来带走12岁的贾斯伯•莫蒂斯特和他6岁的妹妹露西，他有非凡的创作能力，妹妹有完美的记忆力，他们从伦敦的家穿越大洋来到了一个从没有见过的地方。
他们到这里来带走9岁的华莱士•纳克，最后一位非洲后裔科学家，他离开了化学，离开了爸爸和纽约的家庭生活，重新过一种他从没有想象过的生活。
当12岁的诺亚只带着衣服，小提和他非凡的头脑离开多伦多后，早已开始想念他熟悉的世界和心爱的母亲。
印度最富有和最有成就的科学家的天才女儿，13岁的菲亚被强行带离了她的舒适生活。
在世界各地他们用独特方式建造农场，并在俄亥俄州代顿建造了美丽但孤立的校舍，他们没有跟那些孩子的父母讲就带走了他们。甚至是他们在那里招的美丽的教师，布雷特小姐也没法解释这一切。她可以给他们爱和关怀，唯独给不了答案。
事情在这里变得越来越奇怪。贾斯伯和露西在他们母亲的抽屉里发现了一本无页书，为什么黑衣人这么想得到它？
为什么所有的孩子都被教导离奇的诗，但没有他们生活中其他的童谣或故事？
难道他们的父母没有试图与他们联系吗？
不管是什么理由，对于性情急躁的菲亚来说，现在的情况是显而易见的：黑衣人绑架了他们和他们的父母，唯一逃出去解救父母的方法就是完成黑衣人的发明，但是他们根本就不知道这个发明将会永远的改变世界。
但是如果黑衣人不是想伤害这些孩子，而是试图保护他们呢？
这是一个令人吃惊的故事，讲述了科学和友谊的奇迹，《原子量的秘密》或《神秘的黑衣人》是青年发明家公会三部曲的第一本，是一本真正的原创小说。年轻的读者会永远珍惜伊甸•昂格尔•鲍迪奇的这本有趣的，有创造力的以及深刻的小说处女作。(LNL)
Awards/获奖情况：電影版權optioned! Two Ton Films, the New York-based production company responsible for, among others, The Bucket List and The Big Wedding, has optioned the middle-grade Young Inventors Guild trilogy, written by Egypt-based Eden Unger Bowditch非常优秀。——P•B克尔，儿童灯系列和其他年轻成人畅销书的作者
我非常喜欢这本书，如果把它改编成电影，也会很棒。我爱它，因为它看起来如此真实。这是一本完美的为暑假准备的书。我敢肯定，每一个买它的人都会像我一样享受它。如果要我评价它，我将给它你能想到的最高级别。——麦高•纽沃尔，《大不列颠》的作者
伊甸•昂格尔•鲍迪奇的《原子量的秘密》真正的抓住了声音。这本书的人物是孩子，通过某种方式来分享他们的经历，因为他们必须提高自身，他们已经超越了同龄的其他孩子。在这两者之间要取得一个很好的平衡。我最喜欢的人物是菲亚，我想这是因为我是两个女儿的父亲，所以我能认同她最好的一面。此外，在书的开始部分，她与父母分离的场景是如此令人动容。作者捕捉的恐惧和混乱完全压倒了我。这本书引起了感情的共鸣，因为在那样的情况下，我的女儿会和菲亚一样感到恐惧。坦率地说，这很可怕。《原子量的秘密》是一个非常特殊的创作。它以及其余的系列无疑将捕获无论年轻或年老读者的心。富有想象力的情节充满了阴谋和神秘，人物是上中学的孩子，再加上科学发明的元素，将吸引整个年轻群体。——安德鲁•弗格森，开罗美国大学附属中学副校长
