In CRISPR-Cris Parr, a gripping YA sci-fi thriller, seventeen-year-old Nya Bennison's dream of following in her geneticist father's footsteps takes a dark turn when she uncovers the shocking truth behind his groundbreaking research at Advangen Biotech. Deep within the company's basement, Nya discovers Cris-a genetically engineered human with Neanderthal DNA, whose existence challenges everything she thought she knew.
Determined to free Cris from his unethical imprisonment, Nya reluctantly teams up with her former crush turned nemesis, Gabriel Hargrove. As they embark on a dangerous mission to rescue Cris and expose Advangen's secrets, Nya and Gabe find themselves up against a powerful corporation that will stop at nothing to reclaim their property. With the police hot on their heels, the unlikely duo takes to the media, unleashing a global firestorm of reactions that range from unwavering support to chilling death threats.
But as Nya and Gabe grow closer and fight to prove Cris' humanity to the world, a shocking revelation threatens to shatter everything Nya believes in. Suddenly, she finds herself not only questioning her father's work but also facing a terrifying truth about herself-a truth that could change the course of her life forever.
With time running out and Advangen holding the key to her survival, Nya must confront the unethical experiments lying at the heart of her father's legacy while navigating the blurred lines between science and morality. As she grapples with her own identity and the consequences of her father's choices, Nya realizes the stakes are higher than ever before-and the price of the truth may be more than she's willing to pay.
CRISPR-Cris Parr is a heart-pounding thriller that explores the consequences of unchecked scientific ambition, the power of friendship and love in the face of adversity, and the very nature of what it means to be human. With pulse-pounding action, shocking twists, and a thought-provoking examination of the ethical implications of genetic engineering, this novel will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very last page.
