About this book

Español

El pez número catorce / The Fourteenth Goldfish

A Ellie, de once años, no le gustan nada los cambios. Echa de menos la escuela primaria, a su mejor amiga e incluso a Nemo, el pez que fue su mascota durante años. Un día su madre llega a casa con un chico muy raro: viste como un adulto, se comporta como un cascarrabias y se parece muchísimo a Melvin Sagarsky, el abuelo de Ellie, un científico dedicado a estudiar el envejecimiento humano. ¿Habrá descubierto el secreto de la juventud eterna? Con humor y ternura, Jennifer L. Holm, ganadora de tres Menciones de Honor Newbery, acerca la ciencia a los lectores jóvenes.

English

The Fourteenth Goldfish

Eleven-year-old Ellie hates change. She misses fifth grade, her old best friend, and even her long-gone pet goldfish. Then her mother brings home a strange boy who dresses like an adult, grumbles like a crank, and looks remarkably like Ellie's grandfather Melvin, a scientist obsessed with human aging. Could this awkward teenager really be Grandpa? Has he discovered the secret of eternal youth? Funny, warm, and thought-provoking, this novel by three-time Newbery Honor winner Jennifer L. Holm invites readers to question appearances and ask whether everything possible is truly desirable.
