Galileo. Newton. Curie. Science can change the world. But can it go too far? Eleven-year-old Ellie wonders about the strange and bossy new boy who, weirdly enough, looks a lot like her grandfather, a scientist who’s always been a bit obsessed with immortality. Has Grandpa finally found the secret to eternal youth? Join us as we read this story that celebrates the wonder of science and explores fascinating questions about life, family, friendship, and possibility.
