Strange Attractors
Recent high school graduate Max is looking forward to his visit to Mercury Labs, an honor for top science students, when his mother tells him he's already been there--yesterday. Then Eve, the daughter of the Lab's top scientist, Dr. Sylvan, calls Max and asks him to return what he took from the Lab. But Max doesn't remember anything at all, and discovers that there are two Eves and two Dr. Sylvans. Which ones are real and which are imposters? What does Dr. Sylvan's work on the chaotic bifurcation graph have to do with time travel? Sleator's latest high-tech thriller is compelling and thought-provoking, and offers a clever surprise ending. Ages 10-16.Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
