I read this book for a high school biology class. This is more of a Teen book, but older adults may enjoy the story as well.

Back cover summary:
"Semi, Miranda, and Arnie are among fifty British Young Conservationists on their way to a wildlife conservation station deep in the rain forests of Ecuador. After a terrifying plane crash, these three are the sole survivors, stranded together on a deserted tropical island. Or so they think. Semi, Miranda, and Arnie stumble into the hands of Dr. Franklin, a mad scientist who's been waiting for them, eager to use them as specimens for his experiments in genetic engineering"
