Graham Marks is a journalist and author. He works for Publishing News as well as writing novels for young adults.
Grade 9 Up–Cameron Stewart, a 17-year-old athlete and all-around good guy, is kidnapped from his San Diego home and winds up in Seattle. He escapes his captors by accidentally killing one of them, and then proceeds on a long journey home by boxcar and the back of a pickup truck. When the owner of the truck and his girlfriend, Tee, discover Cam's presence, they take him to their home in Santa Monica, where he begins to unravel the secrets of his life, including the fact that he is not who he appears to be, and that his parents are involved in a covert eugenics company, of which he is actually a product. Having the feel of a survival story with a touch of mystery, Cam's weeklong adventure takes him through a dire predicament where he manages to elude his kidnappers while simultaneously dodging the police in fear of being accused of murder. However, as the plot unfolds, there are a few distracting elements, such as the coincidental discovery of the computer chip in Cam's shoulder holding secrets to his identity, and the breakneck development of Cam and Tee's romance. In addition, the epilogue provides too pat an ending. For teens wanting compelling contemporary fiction about genetic manipulation, Nancy Werlin's Double Helix (Dial, 2004) is a superior title, but Marks's precise choice of words and the book's fast pace redeem Zoo and make it a satisfying read.–Diane P.
