When Adam Eddington, a gifted marine biology student, makes the acquaintance of blond and beautiful Kali Cutter at Kennedy International Airport on his way to Portugal to spend the summer working for the renowned scientist Dr. O'Keefe, he has no idea that this seemingly chance meeting will set into motion a chain of events he will be unable to stop.
Caught between Kali's seductive wiles and the trusting adoration of Dr. O'Keefe's daughter, Poly, Adam finds himself enmeshed in a deadly power struggle between two groups of people, only one of which can have right on its side. As the ddanger escalates, Adam must make a decision that could affect the entire world--which side is he on?

Heartwarming. I didn't think that a book could make me cry, but this one did.When I was scrolling through the reviews after I read it, I noticed that one person said that the moral lesson of loving a killer was stupid.I disagree.I believe that the hardest battle is conquering your hatred.

Although it has been years since I read this book, it still sticks in my mind as the best novel for young adults on the market. Its lessons about compassion, ambition, relationships and trust are wonderfully offset by a plot that is both intriguing and engrossing. A true treasure.

I love The Arm of The Starfish. You're in suspense until the last page. The book is too hard to explain in just 1 small paragraph, but here goes: Adam Eddington, a student, is invited to go over to Portugal to study for the summer. Once he enters Kennedy Airport, already he gets caught up in the events surrounding him. At the airport he meets a girl name Kali. She explains the doctor he is studying with is wrong. Who will he believe and who is good?? You'll have to read the book to find out.
