   Additional Information  
 
  Gabriel is on a mission to observe human adaptations to Equalizers, the visible and invisible disabilities that all humans have at some point in their lives. He is sent by the Council to grow up as a human with a major Equalizer, spina bifida. As Gabriel goes through surgeries, hospitalizations, and singing goofy songs to help him stay healthy, he learns how others handle his Equalizer. Gabriel’s Advisors are very supportive. Landy is not. In fact, Landy takes a while to adjust to the new member of the family. Gabriel meets Ralph, Cheyenne, and Marco. They show him that Enhancers are the best way to overcome some of the difficulties associated with Downs’ syndrome, cerebral palsy, and cancer. Gabriel discusses what he learns with the Council. They want to know more, but his human emotions are making it hard to continue.
