The fourteenth goldfish

Holm, Jennifer L. (author.). Carpenter, Tad, (illustrator,, book designer.). Random House Children's Books, (publisher.).

Summary: "Eleven-year-old Ellie has never liked change. She misses fifth grade. She misses her old best friend. She even misses her dearly departed goldfish. Then one day a strange boy shows up. He's bossy. He's cranky. And weirdly enough ... he looks a lot like Ellie's grandfather, a scientist who's always been slightly obsessed with immortality. Could this pimply boy really be Grandpa Melvin? Has he finally found the secret to eternal youth"--Front jacket flap.
