The Fourteenth Goldfish

I loved this big-kid fiction story writte by Jennifer Holm (FIC HOL). Many students will recognize her from her graphic novel series, Babymouse.  This was sweet story about an eleven-yr-old girl named Ellie whose grandfather has discovered a cure for aging.  His new young body is great, but he can't get back into his lab to get the secret ingredient that allowed him to do it and will make him famous.  Ellie wants to help and is fascinated with the science her grandfather loves so much.  But, she soon starts to question whether or not one should invent breakthroughs that could alter the world so much and mess with the cycle of life.
