Brain Child

by Alan K. Garrett

Scott doesn't fit in at school. He can't, because he feels like his mind isn't his own.

When he finally escapes — kicked out of the first grade — he is able to pursue the education he really wants: finding out why he thinks and feels like an adult … and why he has since the moment of his birth.

A hospital power surge on his birth date, an overloaded fetal heartbeat monitor, and a not-so-mad scientist's fried computer have given him an unwanted head start in life. His search for answers leads him to become Georgetown University's youngest student ever and the subject of a well-funded collaborative research project.

Now he's such a hot commodity that his very freedom is threatened. Some of the people involved have secret agendas, and even some close friends aren't what they seem.

An exceptional read from the first page until the last. Mister Garrett is a literary architect; his skill in drawing memorable characters and building plot tension is quite impressive. I don't remember the last book I read that I enjoyed as much as Brain Child. I am very excited about joining these already beloved characters in the next installment of this series.

Fun read, creative concept! I’ve read novels about unnaturally intelligent children before, but this one takes the concept in a brand new direction. Well worth your time.
