Description

When a class assignment turns into a mystery, a young girl’s carefully kept routine is disrupted by the arrival of a new goldfish—and the unsettling realization that something about the “fourteenth” one doesn’t add up. As she and her friends follow clues, test theories, and navigate the pressures of school and growing up, the story blends humor with suspense in a way that keeps readers turning pages. At its heart, this novel explores themes of friendship, responsibility, and the way small choices can ripple into bigger consequences. With Jennifer L. Holm’s lively, accessible voice and sharp emotional insight, the book delivers an engaging middle-grade adventure that feels both playful and surprisingly thought-provoking.
