The Fourteenth Goldfish by Jennifer Holm

“Eleven-year-old Ellie has never liked change. She misses fifth grade. She misses her old best friend. She even misses her dearly departed goldfish. Then one day a strange boy shows up. He’s bossy. He’s cranky. And, weirdly enough, he looks a lot like Ellie’s grandfather, a scientist who’s always been slightly obsessed with immortality. Could this pimply boy really be Grandpa Melvin? Has he finally found the secret to eternal youth?”

The Nene Award Book Club is for kids in 4th-6th grade. Each month we read a new title from the Nene Award Nominee list, have a discussion, and do a related activity. For more information on the award and complete list of nominated titles check the Nene Award website.

Program schedule is subject to change. Contact the library 10 days in advance to request a sign language interpreter or if special accommodations are needed.
