Author: Jennifer L. HolmGenre: Science Fiction
What this book is about: Ellie is normal. And so is her life. Until one morning her mom shows up with a teenage boy who claims that he is her grandfather. But that can't be true...can it? Her grandfather is 65. This boy looks about 13. Her grandfather says that using a jellyfish, he reversed the aging process. And Ellie's mother does not really want her father to stay with them whether he's 13 or 65. So life continues. Her grandfather enjoys being 13 again....until he realizes that he will have to go to school. And then even MORE problems come.
He realizes that when he reversed aging, he forgot that he left the ingredients and the supplies in his lab. And no one will let him in. They think he is just an ordinary teenage kid. Looks like getting the Nobel prize will have to wait. And getting a chapter in the science books that Ellie has. Ellie learns about the science of life. And from what she is hearing, all life must go on. In a circle. Even the laws of motion agree. But her grandfather had gotten so far - will she be able to convince him to stop?
Your opinion: It was a really good book! But again, DO NOT judge a book by its cover. I think that the title and cover deceive people. I think the book should be called something like "The Fountain of Youth" or "The Science of Life."
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Who would like this book: I think people who like science and realistic fiction would like this.
