The Brilliant Fall of Gianna Z. by Kate Messner

4.0

Remember those awful leaf projects you had to do in school? Well, Gianna isn't any happier about hers - even though it's the only thing standing in the way of her and the sectional cross country meet. She really wants to get it done, but life (in the form of a mean girl at school and her own grandmother's illness) can really get in the way.

4th grade and up.
