(4) 4-6 While investigating her DNA for a school project, middle-school gambler Samara Brooks is shocked to learn that some people think her genetic code is proof of alien life. The story, told through three alternating viewpoints, deftly packs in lots to think about in terms of God, aliens, and intelligent design. The mystery-investigation element is less successful, with an out-of-left-field ending.
