THE EXPERIMENT
By Rebecca Stead
Nathan is like any other boy in the 6th grade — or is he? His best friend, Victor, thinks so. But Nathan’s parents have come here from another planet, and his entire life has been structured to “blend in”. He must not appear to be any different — and Nathan is successfully doing this. Until he awakes one morning to discover that he has grown a tail! And suddenly strange things start happening that promise to turn Nathan’s world and identity upside down.
This is a fun and captivating book for young readers who like Sci-Fi.
