Authors note: I think that The book was okay I was not that interested in it.
If you could turn young again or stop aging I think that would be amazing but bad. Like say everyone did it the world would over populate.

Have you ever wanted to age backwards, or have a second chance at life?
Being able defy the laws of nature. Margaret Haddix, author of Turnabout, wrote about a group of elderly who take an antidote to grow young. Not know that the injecting to stop the aging was deadly. Turnabout is an interesting book to read if you are looking for horror, and suspense.

The horror for Melly and Anny Beth are unbearable. Just like the movie the curious case of Benjamin Button. They grow from old to young. Between the movie and the book Benjamin is born old. In the book Melly and Anny grow old take and injection that makes them young.Aging is supposed to stop with another injection but turns out to be lethal.

Ones Melly and Anny find out that the injection is deadly they run away. While there gone they do a family search and Melly’s finds her one of her granddaughter. How would you feel if this happened? If the injection worked they would live forever just like a vampire.


They are also scared because if people find out what will happen to them. They also want to tell people to see if they can stop the aging. What would you do? Just like the movie Reaper they are stuck between two choices. In reaper they can make people old or young, But don’t know they should tell or not. Melly goes to one of their grandchildren living in their old home. Anny tells her everything that happens and does not tell. I think that I would tell so they could stop the aging.

If this was real it would be an amazing discovery. Turnabout would be a good book to read. Eventually there granddaughter becomes there mom when they become children.
