has anyone read anna to the
infinite power?

it was written by mildred ames.

such a weird thing.

i was thinking of a book that had
an impact on me as a kid, and
i remembered one book that left
an impression. but i could only
remember "silken tie" in the title.

i thought maybe a sliver pen, a
silken tie.

but the title is actually the silver
link, the silken chain. when i saw
mildred's writing bio, i saw anna to
the infinite power. of course i remembered
this book as well.

it was about cloning.
that really hit a chord as well.
i say i never read sci fi, but i read
it as a little geekling at age 12.
scolastic book no less.

anyone else LOVE scolastic books?
