EL, MS – ADVISABLE
Gianna Z. won’t be able to run in sectionals unless she completes her 25 leaves identification project for science class on time. The project seems doomed by her grandmother Nonna’s increasing forgetfulness, the sabotaging of a peer, and the death of a schoolmate’s grandmother. Gianna has to find a way to do her homework, deal with life and death, while being driven to school in a hearse.
Author Kate Messner creates warm and realistic characters that tween and young teens will fall for.
