An abortive attempt to create a new race of creatures unites the mysterious genetic scientist Dr. Florida with five genetically tailored children in a poignant story that explores the repercussions of humanity's search for perfection. The power of Reed's ( The Leeshore ) storytelling comes from his ability to filter adult foibles through the eyes of his child-narrator. Recommended for sf collections.-- JC
