The Fourteenth Goldfish Book Report

The Fourteenth Goldfishand The Third Mushroom, is the recipient of three Newbery Honors, the Scott O’Dell Award, and an Eisner Award.

• Although, as a children's book, it is about an eleven-year-old girl named Ellie, it wholeheartedly advocates growing up. Ellie isn't much in favor of the idea at first.

• The Fourteenth Goldfish, by Jennifer Holm, may be an antidote to this kind of thinking.

• The Fourteenth Goldfish does not disappoint! It's an imaginative story that still cuts to issues like divorce, relationships with parents and grandparents, and struggles with changing friendships.
