The Forgetting Machine

(3) 4-6 Flinkwater Chronicles series. Hautman's second amusing satire (The Flinkwater Factor) about a fictitious Silicon Valley–esque Iowa town populated by geniuses and their progeny features a mad scientist messing with people's memories. To supplant information already in their brains with other knowledge, he transfers portions of their memories to animals. Fortunately, protagonist Ginger Crump and the other child geniuses are up to the task of resolving this mysterious sci-fi dilemma.
