Reviews
Publishers Weekly starred review, May 26, 2014: "This is top-notch middle-grade fiction with a meaty dilemma, humor, and an ending that leaves room for the possibility of a sequel. " Booklist  starred review, July 1, 2014: "A great choice for book groups and class discussions as well as individual reading." New York Times Books Review, August 24, 2014: ""Youth, old age, life, death, love, possibilities, and - oh yes - goldfish all come together in this warm, witty and wise novel." The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books , September 2014: "Holm's writing is crisp, accessible, and well paced, and her enthusiasm for science and its impact emerges clearly and consistently but not overbearingly, with clear, appreciative nods to the world of theater and its purpose in our lives. Indeed, this novel explores weighty elements of human existence with a light touch, allowing readers to engage with the issues at multiple levels; an excellent appendix of recommended readings encourages exploration and dialogue. This novel would make an ideal classroom read aloud, particularly to expose students to the rich and rewarding STEM fields.", Publishers Weekly starred review, May 26, 2014: "This is top-notch middle-grade fiction with a meaty dilemma, humor, and an ending that leaves room for the possibility of a sequel.
