However living on a secluded island off Charleston in South Carolina there is not much opportunity to put her knowledge to the test. (Nov.Fourteen-year-old Tory Brennan is as fascinated by bones and dead bodies as her famous aunt, acclaimed forensic anthropologist, Tempe Brennan.

Still, the action en route is exciting, and the forensic science and research is as vital as in Reichs's adult novels, even in the more science-fictional setting. Reichs juggles the large cast and layered story well, although the revelations at the end get a little silly. This intertwines with the story of a long-buried body, as well as teen drama surrounding the local debutante scene, into which Tory has been unwillingly thrust. When an experimental parvovirus from the canine transfers to the teenagers, they are imbued with superhuman physical and mental powers and become the target of a group of killers. Along with friends Hi, Shelton, and Ben, Tory-who lives largely unsupervised with her newfound father on an island off the coast of Charleston, S.C.-discovers a secret laboratory and rescues a dog. Reichs makes a solid YA debut with this spinoff of her Bones series, following 14-year-old Tory Brennan-niece of famed forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan-and her friends as they uncover a decades-old murder and a contemporary scientific conspiracy.
