Meanwhile, Amy's mother (a biologist) has been vague about the girl's father for years (he allegedly died in a car accident before she was born), but Amy is determined to uncover her family history for an autobiography assignment. In an intentionally cryptic prologue and in subsequent, brief interludes between chapters, the author introduces ""the director,"" who is investigating the possibility that a ""project"" that was ""terminated"" 12 years earlier has in fact survived. She performs flawlessly at gymnastics practice, answers a complicated math problem in a split second and demonstrates tricky maneuvers on ice skates with ease. The Amy at the center of this debut novel in Kaye's Replica series has a problem most 12-year-old girls would kill for: she suddenly excels at everything she does.
