== Eva wakes up one morning in the hospital one morning. She does not remember anything from having a picnic on the beach with her family. Her mother explains what had happened. There was a car accident and she was severely injured and had been in a long coma. But something is off, what had her scientist parents done to save Eva's life? They hadn't told her that. == == Eva was one of the best books I've read all year. The science in it was so interesting and unique. Even though this book is fiction Peter Dickinson explains this book as if it could happen in real life. Peter Dickinson dedicated this book to the famous scientist Jane Goodall who worked with chimpanzees in Africa. ==

== I think the science topic in this book is the technology and science they would have had to use on Eva. The author's writing style for me was pretty good. I love how he explained everything in great description. The only thing I disliked about his writing style was once in a while the story kind of slowed down and dragged on. This book is not a very funny book but I didn't expect it to be. == == The main Characters in this book were Eva, her Mom, her Dad, her friend Grog, and chimpanzees such as Lana, Sniff,and Dinks. I like all the characters in this book which makes me like this book even more. Eva wants to accept herself the way she is, her parents are both scientists her dad works with chimpanzees and her mom works with the technology. Grog works for a T.V. company and just wants to change the world. And the chimpanzees are always up to no good as usual. == == There two main settings. The first main setting is where Eva's Dad works this is where they watch chimps all day and take notes on behavior and such. The second main setting is the jungle but I can't explain that much because it's near the end. The author does a good job with describing the settings so you get a picture of them in your mind. He does such a good job of that that it seems like these places could be real. == == Now back to the plot. Eva's mother eventually tells her that Eva had to be turned into a chimp! Eva's regular body was too damaged and they had to remove Eva's brain and put it into a chimps body. Eva was paralyzed controlled by the doctors and let her slowly use parts of her body again. This book is about Eva's life as a chimp and getting all the publicity, but yet staying true to herself. ==

I would recommend this book to a friend. It is an interesting book and the dramatic ending was just perfect for the book! Thanks for reading!
