In Daniel Keyes's novel, Flowers for Algernon, thirty-two-year-old Charlie Gordon is mentally challenged—until a team of doctors performs an operation that turns him into a super-genius. But triumph turns to devastation when the brilliant Charlie learns the effects of the operation are only temporary, and even he cannot think of a way to save himself. Keyes's narrative technique—telling the story through a series of diary entries that change as Charlie gains and then again loses his intelligence—makes this a terrific study for all levels of students.
