Half Brother by Kenneth Oppel is a Young-adult book.
This book is about a chimpanzee who gets raised by an American household to learn their language. Some of the characters include Ben and Zan. The father of the family sees Zan as just an experiment, which is pretty sad.
I think this is a really good book and when you read it you really start to think about life, like you’ve never done before. This book is an emotional rollercoaster which everyone should read even people who don’t even like this genre. Though one bad thing about the book is that it can be a little slow-paced at times and you don’t really read it as quickly.
I do recommend you read this book, even if you don’t like you should at least try it.
