Jon is a grade school student who has a part-time job at a labratory where they experiment with animal DNA. When he hears that one of the scientists needs a tray full of samples, Jon runs to get it, trying to show how helpful he can be. In his haste he spill the contents of nine cups of animal DNA and the contents mix together. Sure, it was an accident, but the results make for an amazing discovery.
The scientists decide to incubate the batch anyway and the animal that results from the accident has the DNA of nine different animals in its genetic makeup. They decide to call it "The Nano Beast," but Jon thinks that sounds too harsh and asks if they can change it something that reflects Nine Animals - Nanimal.
The egg eventually hatches and Nanimal begins talking with the other lab animals. He decides to escape and find his "mother," which turns out to be a tougher task than he'd imagine, since it could be any one of nine species.
This was my first attempt at writing a childrens' story and it's aimed at 8-10 year olds.
