| Description | In this Pick of the Week video, teenage students will be introduced to "Half-Brother" by Kenneth Oppel. Summary--When 13-year-old Ben Tomlin's parents tell him he's going to have a new baby brother, Ben has mixed feelings. For one thing, he's not thrilled about his family's cross-country move—all because of his new sibling. And then there's the thought of having to share his parents—Ben's not sure about that, either. And then there's the fact that Zan, his new brother, is a chimpanzee. Set in the 1970s, when teaching a chip to talk was cutting-edge research, "Half Brother" explores some tough questions about ethics, animal treatment, and what it really means to be human. As Zan grows in his understanding of human language—while at the same time becoming more difficult to control—Ben must grapple with his complex feelings toward his brother ... and what, if anything, he can do to save Zan. This is a great resource to entice and encourage upper grade readers. |
