Shadow of The Giant
Throughout this novel, chaos strikes everywhere. Petra and Bean go try to find their "babies" who were taken to other families. I put quotes around babies because these are more than just regular children at that age. From the results of Bean getting genetically modified as a baby, he will never physically stop growing. The down side to this is that as he gets to be HUGE the Earth's gravity will pull so much force on him that he will die at a very young age, but since he never stops growing, his brain continues to get larger and larger making him smarter than anyone else. Back to the "babies", Bean and Petra tracked down all of the babies who were lost and given to other parents. After determining which one of the babies had Anton's Key passed down genetically, Bean and Petra had to make a tough decision. Take Bean and the other Anton's Key babies to space at near light speed in hope of finding a cure, or stay on Earth and die at the age of 20. They decide to go to space, and because of how fast they are going, Earth is aging 85 times faster than they are.
What I like:
I liked the emotions flowing throughout the whole book. There were many places in the story that had me wondering what was going to happen. I also like the ending. Yes, it made me cry but it was the most intense ending to a book I have ever read,
