What a fun book!!
Sixth grader Ellie has enough adjustments but when her grandfather shows up as a teenager!!, her life takes paths she never imagined! Her grandfather has two PhD and has discovered a way to reverse aging. Through lots of discussions about various scientists (Curie, Falk, Oppenheimer, Newton, Pastuer), cooking from her deceased grandmother's recipe box and discovering new friends, Ellie learns a lot about the precious gift of life and using it wisely/for the good.
I love how Ms. Holm takes many different topics -science, becoming of age, the tumultuous adolescence stage, family members quirks-and weaves them into a superb story that causes one to think. To achieve all of "that", now that is talent!!
*Highly recommend.
