It's so hard to find good science fiction for younger teens, so I'm happy to recommend this first in the "missing links" trilogy by the author of the fabulous "The New Policeman." 15-year-old Christie and his older stepbrother Danny(who is "different" - autistic? Brain damaged? This remains mysterious until the end) are called away from Ireland to Scotland by Danny's mother. The messenger? A talking starling named Darling. On the way, they link up with Tina, a homeless teen, who has befriended a talking dog named Oggy. They all make their way to Scotland in the midst of what appears to be a world-wide energy/food crisis to Scotland, where Danny's mother lives on a compound where she conducts rather morally dubious genetic experiments. The science is nebulous, the talking animals are adorable (if unnerving), the altered children are disturbing - and the writing and plot are first-rate. Can't wait to read the next two in the series!
