"Panda Ray !s a keeper. It goes on my special shelf along with a handful of very special books: Slan by A. E. van Vogt, Children of the Atom by Wilmar Shiras, What Mad Universe by Fredric Brown. Thinking back to my so-long-ago childhood, I can empathize with tervyear-old Chris Z immerman, cursed with a bright intelligence and a quirky imagination in a world that finds him peculiar and nerdy at best, dangerous at worst. Go go go, Chris!"

Christopher Z immerman sure looks like a normal ten-year-old (even if he is the shortest member of his class). He collects pebbles and has a dog named Buzz.

When Mother hears of Christopher's boast-ing, she rules as she must: Christopher will be scooped out.
That's right—no more omicron for him, no more upsilon.
Christopher would rather die than be scooped out, so he enlists Gramps's help and flees on a journey through space, time, and other less recognizable things, and into a classic science fiction adventure.
This is the sort of uproarious, imaginative, and moving story that has made lifelong fans of millions of SF readers and it will win Michael Kandel a place among the first rank of today's science fiction writers. Vissza
