Narrative To Books Turnabout

In the year 2000 Melly and Anny Beth had reached the peak of old age and were ready to die. But when offered the chance to be young again by participating in a top-secret experiment called Project Turnabout, they agreed. Miraculously, the experiment worked -- Melly and Anny Beth were actually growing younger every year. But when they learned that the final treatment would be deadly, they ran for their lives.

Now it is 2085. Melly and Anny Beth are teenagers. They have no idea what will happen when they hit age zero, but they do know they will soon be too young to take care of themselves. They need to find someone to help them before time runs out, once and for all....

Crit Appertaining To Books Turnabout

This was another one of my old books that I grabbed the last time I was home. I think I only read it once, as a kid, even though it was written by one of my favorite YA authors, Margaret Peterson Haddix (who also wrote Running Out of Time, my favorite book for most of my adolescence). This woman really has a thing about time, I guess.I remember not really loving this book as a kid (too much science), but I found it fascinating this time around. The concept is very interesting, and the plot

I wanted more! MORE! One of Haddix's clever twists on the future, where a pair of very old ladies agree to an experiment that will make them young again . . . the catch being that it won't stop! As they grow younger and younger: fourteen, thirteen, twelve, who will take care of them?I love the concept of this book, but Haddix didn't explore as much of it as I wanted her to.

a futuristic twist on unaging (if that is a word). this tale was more about what wasn't said. GOOD! it you liked the curious case of benjamin button you might like this.

I thoroughly enjoyed Turnabout! This is a science-fiction novel about two women, Melly (Amelia) and Anny Beth, who lived normally throughout the 1900s and participate in Project Turnabout in 2000 when they are near their deaths. Project Turnabout is a scientific experiment where participants are injected so that they un-age until a certain point in their lives and then receive another injection to stop the process (so that they'd stay the same age forever). But the second injection doesn't work

This may be due to the fact that I'm taking so many biology classes so that entire concept of "unaging" is completely ridiculous, especially the fact that it is now known that telomeres does NOT cause aging. The only thing the two have in common is that as you age, telomeres shorten but whether or not it does cause aging is completely "untrue." Not only that, but I find that entire point of the story, pointless. Finding someone to take yourself is hardly a reason/purpose to live. Telling the

Turnabout tells a story of two very old women (one is 100 years old and the other a few months away from being 100) that take a type of injection that makes them unage. The scientists expected to inject another medicine into them to make them stop unaging so they could be whatever age they wanted to be forever. But something goes wrong. They tried it on one man who wanted to stay around 70 and he disintegrated within seconds! So now, the two main characters have to deal with unaging. But what

The first page captivated me:"April 21, 2085My sixteenth birthday. Sad, sad day. What I mind most--what I've been dreading most--is losing my license. I could still pass for being older for at least another year or two, but the agency won't let me. Against the rules, they say. We know best, they say. How can they be so sure when this is all new territory. At least Anny Beth can still drive, since she's only eighteen. I don't know what I'd do without Anny Beth. I don't know what we'll do when she
