This book was a bit heavy in its content, but refreshing in its willingness to tackle the topic of depression. Natalie's mother is battling depression. At the same time, Natalie has a science experiment she needs to complete. An egg drop contest becomes a way by which Natalie can earn money to get her mom to a place that will fix her. But "you can't always protect breakable things...but you keep going anyway. Because science is about asking questions. And living is not being afraid of the answer." I loved Natalie's teacher in this story as well as the author's infusion of the scientific method into its chapter format. (FIC KEL)
