Reviews

..".this fast-paced and edgy novel has enough thrills, romance, and family drama to please a wide audience. This Robin Cook-like thriller zips along at breakneck speed to a satisfying conclusion."--Booklist "Ryan (Nerve) offers a cautionary tale about the perils of designer genetics and what happens when scientists' aspirations get ahead of ethics. Her take on the topic is fresh and intriguing."--Publishers Weekly "Suspense balances with discussions of bioethics for a provocative and entertaining read. A sympathetic protagonist combines with intriguing medical possibility for a solid thriller."--Kirkus Reviews "Charisma by Jeanne Ryan is at its best when it gets technical. Considering Ryan has a PHD and has worked with youth development programs and social workers, it's obvious she knows what she talking about."--Hypable "Not a far step from Ned Vizzini's Be More Chill...The science is explained well enough for non-scientist readers to understand, and gives teens much to think about regarding medical ethics and experimentation."--School Library Journal "The science is both sharp and accessible here, and readers will get a sense of the nuances and messiness of genetic alterations while staying in Aislyn's world."--BCCB
