(4) 4-6 Cat suffers from crippling headaches after falling out of a tree while bird watching. She's sent to I-CAN, a high-tech facility that promises to cure her but that also has nefarious plans to implant DNA from dead geniuses into its patients. Messner's premise is rich with potential, but the narrative pacing is uneven. A note on real-life genetic engineering research should spur conversation.
