jleeds 's review for:

The Fourteenth Goldfish by Jennifer L. Holm
4.0

Interesting premise for an elementary level book. Eleven year old Ellie's grandpa is a scientist who through the experimentation of jellyfish is able to reverse aging. He comes to live with Ellie and her mom as a teenage boy. There are some great moments about growing pains (figuratively and literally), viewing the world through a scientific lens, and being a middle school aged kiddo. Would be great for a class read aloud.
