Hott Synopsis:
Science fiction is becoming reality in Ellie’s house! It may take her a few minutes to catch up, but she does eventually realize that the teen ordering her mother around is really her grandfather, Melvin.
The thing is, Ellie finds her grandfather tremendously interesting and fun… though she’d much prefer for him to be his own age again.
Hott Review:
What I liked: The Fourteenth Goldfish was a cute middle-grade book. It was interesting and fast-paced. The huge underlying lesson is one that should stay with them for a long time.
What I didn’t like: I think this is going to be a niche book. There are a lot of science terms and references that not all middle-graders will enjoy.
