Gianna has less than one week to complete her leaf project if she wants to compete in the upcoming cross-country sectionals, but issues like procrastination, disorganization—and her grandmother's declining health—seem destined to keep her from finishing.
All Gianna Zales wants is to compete at the cross-country finals, but there's something standing in her way—a science project. She'll lose her spot unless she can collect twenty-five leaves, a task complicated by her teeth-losing grandmother, her hearse-driving father, and a best friend whose feelings for her are suddenly changing. Then Gianna's grandmother disappears, and suddenly some things seem more important than projects and races …
Kate Messner effortlessly transforms a heavy topic into a warm, engaging story that even reluctant readers won't be able to put down. Everyone will be rooting for Giana Z.—and maybe even for science projects—from the very first page of this funny and poignant novel about family, friendship, and being true to yourself.
