Turnabout / Margaret Peterson Haddix / 223 pages

Amelia Lenore Hazelwood was over 110, near the end of her life, in a nursing home, with little or no contact with the outside world.  When she, Anny Beth, and others agree to participate in Project Turnabout their lives are forever changed.  They begin to grow younger. Although this part of the scientific experiment went according to plan, the rest didn't.  Negative time growth had been halted in animals but with humans "the cure" resulted in death.  Melly and Anny have lived wonderful second lives but at 16 and 18 they fact the loss of their driving privileges and the dependency of childhood.  Their search for a solution to their dilemma provides insight into the ramifications of life stages, the ethics of experimentation on humans, and the morality of immortality.
