Os Dois Mundos de Charly
Dr. Richard Nemur
Um homem intelectualmente deficiente passa por um experimento que lhe dá a inteligência de um gênio. Charly é um homem adulto com deficiência cognitiva, lutando para sobreviver no mundo moderno. Suas frequentes tentativas de aprender, ler e escrever são difíceis, e ele é alvo de brincadeiras cruéis na padaria, onde faz pequenos trabalhos de zeladoria. Sua professora, a Sra. Kinnian, matricula Charly em um estudo clínico onde ele é observado por um cirurgião e um psicólogo que coloca Charly numa "disputa" com um rato chamado Algernon, resolvendo labirintos. Algernon é geralmente o vencedor, graças a um experimento envolvendo proteínas cerebrais que aumentou bastante sua inteligência. O experimento prossegue com a cirurgia em Charly, que a princípio não parece afetado. Mas, quando Charly suspeita gradualmente das consequências do experimento, ele luta para saber se o procedimento foi ou não uma boa ideia. (e 12 - Estimado 12 Anos)
