The Evolution of Ethan Poe

Ethan's power animal is Bat. What's yours?And if you got a tattoo, what would it be?
In the space of a few months, sixteen-year-old Ethan Poe's life has become a complicated mix of facts, theories, and hypotheses. Things he knows beyond doubt: his parents are divorcing, his older brother Kyle is exhibiting alarming behavior, and his best friend is turning into a spiritual fanatic. Then there are the shifting uncertainties-including his feelings toward his father and his desire to both blend in and stand out in his rural Maine hometown. Most pressing of all, there's his attraction to Max Modine, a boy he wants to know much better than he does.Despite Ethan's initial reluctance, he gets pulled into a heated and sometimes violent conflict about whether to introduce Intelligent Design into science classrooms. Family and friends are turning against each other, school is a battleground, and Ethan will have to take a stand. Because some facts are irrefutable and some bonds unbreakable, even when they can't be seen. And once Ethan finds the courage to become who he was meant to be, the outcome could be absolutely extraordinary...

Review
What readers are saying ...
"Robin Reardon's books can incite different emotions in you. The Evolution of Ethan Poe caused tears, anger, anxiousness, moments of glee, and much more. This book can make you care and that's a wonderful thing."
"There were so many brilliant characters in the book--characters that surprised me with how they changed over time, characters that wanted to change but either couldn't or didn't know how, and characters that I felt needed to change but that wanted to stay right where they were."
"Reardon does a good job in carefully constructing her story in terms of the extent to which religious fanaticism and ignorance can divide a town, and what secrets each of its people hold."
