The Fourteenth Goldfish (Thing 2)

We read The Fourteenth Goldfish by Jennifer L. Holm. It's about a girl named Ellie who brings home a goldfish for a school assignment about the life cycle. All of the other kids' goldfish die, but Ellie's doesn't. After this, her mom brings home a strange boy who acts like Ellie's grandfather. It is her grandfather . . . Only in a 13-year old's body.
