Brain Child — Andrew Neiderman

A brilliant high school senior girl is quite taken with the science of behavioral modification. When her father suffers a stroke, she experiments with her own family, turning her home into a laboratory, unbeknownst to her teachers and neighbors who have only the highest regard for her. It isn't until a teacher becomes suspicious that her terror is exposed….

EVERYONE IN TOWN KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT LOIS WILSON.

But Lois didn't care. Lois cared only about Science. Behavioral Science.

Even when the kids at school taunted her. Lois didn't care.

Even though her parents were disturbed by her, and her little brother worshipped her -- Lois didn't care.

And when her father suffered a stroke and her mother began drinking strong, implacable Lois was in complete control.

Now her scientific curiosity could have full expression. If she could control the behavior of laboratory animals, imagine what she could do with…people.
