Topher glanced up at Richard's books. "I can see you're on the medical path though," he said. "You should talk to Dr. McCoy and Dr. Reyes. They'd be a huge help for you, if that's the field you really want to go in," he added. He looked down at Richard's books and grinned. "I forgot that you liked to read. I've never read the series, but I played Edmund in my junior high school's version of the first book."
