(3) YA The Filkins family, religious fundamentalists featured in Save Halloween!, return in a novel that addresses conflicts between science and faith. Eighth-grader Mark, chafing at being an identical twin, befriends a Nobel-winning scientist, who has returned to Bradyville to die. Mark attempts to save Colin's life through sustained prayer. The novel presents an even-handed and thoughtful examination of a complex issue.
