Half Brother by Kenneth Oppel

5.0

This is one of those quite books of 2010 that didn't get a lot of buzz when it came out should have. This is the story of Ben and his "half-brother" Zan, a chimp his parents have brought into the house for behavioral research. Ben at first does not appreciate having a baby chimp in the house, but as Zan begins to learn sign language, and Ben spends more and more time with him, his opinion of Zan changes, and Ben decides he would go to any lengths to make sure Zan stays safe.
