Description
I remember reading this in middle school in the 1980s and I bet many adults remember it as well. It's an emotional story with a lot of “what ifs" that I think a student this age can relate to. It is written as a journal of the main character Charlie who is a special-needs adult. Reading anything in the first person gives readers insight into the mind of a character. In fact, it's Charlie's mind that experiences the big changes. This story leaves a rather significant emotional mark on the reader, so I would not recommend it for a younger student who is an “accelerated reader". 311 pgs, pb. ~Sara
Publisher's Description of Flowers For Algernon
Winner of both the Hugo and Nebula Awards, the powerful, classic story about a man who receives an operation that turns him into a genius...and introduces him to heartache.
Charlie Gordon is about to embark upon an unprecedented journey. Born with an unusually low IQ, he has been chosen as the perfect subject for an experimental surgery that researchers hope will increase his intelligence-a procedure that has already been highly successful when tested on a lab mouse named Algernon.
As the treatment takes effect, Charlie's intelligence expands until it surpasses that of the doctors who engineered his metamorphosis. The experiment appears to be a scientific breakthrough of paramount importance, until Algernon suddenly deteriorates. Will the same happen to Charlie?
