Gene hates doing reports, especially on evolution! All Gene wants to do is hang out with his friends, play video games, and get to know Alexis—the prettiest girl in his class. When a SWAT team arrests Gene and his father is charged with murder, Gene knows he's not guilty. His dad may be an overly strict disciplinarian, but he's not a murderer. Gene decides he must uncover the truth for himself—no matter the consequences. At the laboratory crime scene, he encounters a surprising visitor—Charles Darwin himself. Gene's situation escalates once he discovers that this time traveler holds the key to his school report—and his father's freedom.
