Summary "Atom Mystery [Young Atom Detective]" by Charles Ira Coombs is a children’s mystery novel written in the late 20th century. The story centers around a young boy named Eddie Taylor, who is fascinated by atomic science, especially radioactivity and uranium prospecting. As Eddie navigates his summer adventures, he becomes embroiled in a mystery involving the theft of a valuable radioisotope related to his father's work at Oceanview College. At the start of the novel, Eddie is introduced as a curious and imaginative boy eager to use his father's Geiger counter on a quest to find uranium ore, inspired by a dream he had. His adventure begins with preparations for a day out exploring, but soon takes a turn as he learns about a serious theft of a radioisotope at the college that has stirred up concern in the community. As details unfold, Eddie interacts with his friends and neighbors, while suspicious characters and strange occurrences hint at a deeper conspiracy, propelling him into a mystery that intertwines science with adventure.
