      The title of the book is The Fourteenth Goldfish Believe In The Possible. The Author of the book is Jennifer L. Holm. The main character in this book is a girl named Ellie. The book is about Ellie an eleven year old girl who thinks her goldfish, Goldie has lived since she got the fish.  Her mom kept buying goldfish so Ellie thinks Goldie is still alive. Also the book is about an old boy. That mysterious boy in her house is a boy who Ellie doesn’t know. So Ellie isn’t sure about him. So then Ellie’s mom, tells her who that boy is and it is apparently her  grandfather. The book takes place in several places, One is school because Ellie goes to school throughout the book with her grandfather. Another place is a little bit of the lab, the lab is one of the places because Ellie’s grandfather has a lab but he doesn’t work in it. So they try to steal something out of the lab but it is hard too. They have many attempts trying to steal the mystery object. There are two parts of the book that I liked. One of them is when there was a man that Ellie didn’t know but when it was her grandfather, I thought that was an interesting part of the book because you should know what your grandfather looks like and who he is. Another interesting  part of the book is when they try to sneak into the lab to steal an object. Because,it isn’t good to steal and why do they need it? Three adjectives I would use describe Ellie would be sneaky because she snuck  into a lab without anyone noticing. Another one would be abundance because Ellie really, really misses 5th Grade and her best friend. The last adjective I would call Ellie would be kind because Ellie didn’t know the boy in her house so she was kind and nice even though she didn’t know him. I enjoyed this book because It has science In It and I do like science.I know that this book has science because they try to sneak into a lab with science test tubes. I also enjoyed this book because I liked how the characters were being acted out in the book. I liked how the characters were being acted out because they were nice they had kind personalities. I would recommend this book because it has two main parts in this book and they are sneaking into a lab with science related objects. Also that it tells you something’s about science in some parts of the book. The second is you learn what not to do, the thing not to do would be not sneaking into a lab to try to steal objects. There is one more thing it  would be spending time with your family. In the book Ellie’s grandfather always has lunch with Ellie at school. Also talking and making a conversation being together   that is spending time with family members.“There aren’t any movies that i’ve seen that are like my book review.”A rating for my book would be Five *. (* that means stars)

  1. I thought it was really interesting how Jennifer Holm incorporated scientific facts into the story itself. Do you think kids who aren’t into science would still enjoy this book?

  2. I also read this book. I was actually going to do my book review on this book. But then I remembered that I had read a different book that I really liked. Did you know Jennifer L. Holm also wrote the Baby Mouse series. Can you see the relationship between the two books/series she wrote? I can.

  3. Pema, tell us more about the relationship between the two books/series. I’m curious.

    Aura, have you read the Baby Mouse series?

    My big question though is – does Ralph S. Mouse from the Beverly Cleary books know Baby Mouse?
