About the Book
Today's Children. Tomorrow's Geniuses.
They're the best of friends: Ryder, Cody, Marshall, Jack and Beth. A gang of five who hang out in a massive tree fort, joke and laugh together, roughouse and play in the fields of summer. Just like everyday kids. But this is a world where parents can choose the talents and abilities their children will possess. Where the genetic experiments of Dr. Aaron Florida can guarantee a child's future as a brilliant scientist, a gifted singer, or a supreme athlete - even, for Ryder, bestow the power of perfect memory. These children represent a new generation of genetically tailored individuals, created to help build a brighter future. Is Dr. Florida the mastermind behind a better world - or the keeper of a terrifying secret? Ryder and his friends will soon discover the shocking truth about the new world they stand to inherit.
