Review: The Fourteenth Goldfish


The Fourteenth Goldfish
The Fourteenth Goldfish by Jennifer L. Holm

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



I read this book in one sitting and I liked it better than I expected to. Somehow, the goldfish thing led me to believe it would be a bit sillier.

The best thing about the book is that it presents interest in science as a positive thing - not nerdy, just interesting. And even relevant. The second best thing about it is that it doesn't shy away from the moral implications of science. Since it is a book for kids, it doesn't dwell on the negatives, but it does mention them and it leaves them open for thinking about.
