YA
At the end of the twentieth century, a group of nursing home residents is given an experimental injection that reverses aging. Throughout the next century, Melly and Anny Beth grow progressively younger until, as teenagers in 2085, they face the prospect of reverting to childhood, then infancy. This fascinating premise makes the suspenseful and thought-provoking novel a page-turner.
