Meanwhile, a team of scientists is brought together to work on the cure to save the children – headed by the Russian Dr Vassiliev, the only person in the world with the technical knowledge to complete it. But when he mysteriously disappears, they’re surprised to find that the key to getting him back comes unexpectedly from an animal. And to Professor Wolff’s shock, that animal also has an impossible memory linked to his own tragic past. As they search for the missing scientist, as well as the Ingenious girl lost in the Amazon jungle, the teenagers make an upsetting discovery about the origin of their genius genes – thrusting them ever closer to a common and disturbing relative… AN INSPIRATIONAL AND CAPTIVATING READ FOR BOTH TEENAGERS AND ADULTS
