Adolescents Only

"Adolescents Only" by Irving E. Cox, Jr. is a science fiction tale that looks at what happens when teenagers suddenly get smarter and more powerful than anyone expected, and what they do with new knowledge and abilities. When some high schoolers find a rocket filled with weird spheres, they don't know they're about to turn their whole town upside down; after a party where the spheres are consumed, the students start performing crazy experiments, causing all kinds of chaos; their teacher, Gary Elvin, watches as things spiral out of control, and he has to figure out how to guide them toward making the right choices before it’s too late; with a blend of strange events a and serious questions about growing up, the story asks what young people are capable of, and what responsibility means.
