I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
When her grandfather shows up at her house looking like a fourteen year old it was just the beginning of the changes within Ellie's life.
The story was a fun read with a good moral. I was impressed with Ellie's character growth. At the beginning she didn't know anything about science, but throughout the story she learned and even became comfortable enough to confront her grandfather, a notable scientist, when she believed he was in the wrong.
There were times where the character's felt a little older than they actually were. Despite that I really enjoyed all the characters except the grandfather, Melvin. He had nothing positive to say about Ellie's mother the entire book. I don't care he didn't agree with his child's life choices, what he found most objectionable was that she had become a high school drama teacher, but really he should have found somethings he liked about her to say in front of her daughter. Sorry, personal soap box.
Overall I gave this book 4 stars out of 5.
