Half Brother. Kenneth Oppel by Kenneth Oppel
4.0
When Ben's parents move him from Toronto to Victoria so they can conduct the chimpanzee research they've always dreamed of, he isn't happy. Even less so when Ben discovers that Zan the chimp will be living with them as part of the family. However, things change and Ben grows to think of Zan as the person they are raising him to be and as his little brother. When the experiment ends as the funding dries up, Ben is forced to face the reality that Zan isn't really part of the family.
Kenneth Oppel really weaves together the threads of family struggles, growing up, and the ethics of animal testing of all kinds together in an extremely cohesive, thought-provoking, and ultimately readable way.
