Replica Wiki

Welcome to the Replica Fandom Wikia!
Replica is a young adult/middle school science fiction series written by Marilyn Kaye. The series enjoyed great popularity during the years it was on-going and was sold internationally. The story follows Amy Candler, who is 12 years old at the beginning of the series. Amy discovers that she was part of a cloning experiment that involved 12 other Amys who were all genetically modified to have near superhuman abilities.

This was done through a government-funded project called Project Crescent and the goal of the people who headed the project was to create a race of super-humans to use in taking over the world. When the doctors and researchers involved in this experiment learned of the true motives, they took matters into their own hands and decided to destroy the project. After rescuing the Amys and burning down the facility to destroy all of their work and information, the scientists who saved the Amys split them up and put them up for adoption all over the world in hopes of hiding them for their own protection. The lab was blown up in an explosion set by the scientists involved in the project - their goal was to safely get each child out and then the blast would go off, but something went wrong and the blast went off while there were still children in the building. One of the scientists involved in the study and the destruction of the project was Nancy Candler, who decides to keep the Amy (#7)that she rescued from the premature blast and raise her as her daughter.

There are 24 books in the original series (1998-2002) and a separate trilogy based on the same characters was published in 2002.
