4-6Missing Link Trilogy series.
Human-animal genetic manipulation is the motor that drives this gripping book in a promising science fiction trilogy. Christie, thirteen, and his physically awkward stepbrother, Danny, travel to Fourth World, Danny's mysterious mother's home in Scotland. The tale unfolds quickly as the stepbrothers, an angry homeless girl, a talking sheepdog, and a starling make their way across Britain, experiencing natural and human peril.
