Ellie’s grandfather has figured out the secret to eternal
youth. He has turned himself into a
teenager again. Of course, now he looks
like a kid and needs adult supervision, so he has moved in with Ellie and her
mom. Ellie’s mom is not interested in
science at all, despite her father’s profession. Instead, she became interested in the arts
and works as a high school drama teacher.
Ellie’s mom and grandfather have always argued a lot and that hasn’t
changed since he moved in with them.
However, Ellie has started to get to know him and has found that she has
an interest in science. The more she
learns the more she wonders just what her grandfather’s discovery could really
mean for the world. This was a really
nice, fun story about a girl growing up.
Although there is a science fiction bent to the story, it isn’t the main
focus. Older elementary and middle
school age kids who like science or realistic fiction would probably like this
book.
