INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Holm, Jennifer L.

The Third Mushroom

(2) 4-6 Grandpa Melvin (The Fourteenth Goldfish), still stuck in the body of a teenager, is ready to help granddaughter Ellie devise a winning science-fair project. In between performing experiments on fruit flies, Ellie is also learning new lessons about relationships. Holm packs an impressive amount of character development into a concise story, while Ellie’s first-person narration and Melvin's scenery-chewing tendencies make for engaging reading.
