<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Inspired by her late grandmother, 13-year-old Nina spends a summer secretly doing good deeds for her neighbors and enjoying the changes she brings about, even as she's dealing with changing friendships and family issues.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>It's summertime, and thirteen-year-old Nina Ross is feeling kind of lost. Her beloved grandma died last year; her parents work all the time; her brother's busy; and her best friend is into clothes, makeup, and boys. While Nina doesn't know what her thing is yet, it's definitely not shopping and makeup. And it's not <i>boys, </i> either. Though . . . has Eli, the boy next door, always been so cute? <p/>This summer, Nina decides to change things. She hatches a plan. There are sixty-five days of summer. Every day, she'll anonymously do one small but remarkable good thing for someone in her neighborhood, and find out: does doing good actually make a difference? Along the way, she discovers that her neighborhood, and her family, are full of surprises and secrets. <p/>In this bighearted, sweetly romantic novel, things may not turn out exactly as Nina expects. They might be better. <p/><b>Praise: </b><br>Finalist for the Golden Sower Award (Nebraska)<br>Nominated for the Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Awards<br>Nominated for the Sunshine State Young Readers Award (Florida) <p/></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Kirkus Reviews</b><b>, February 1, 2014: <br></b>Joyful dividends are reaped from a teenager's secret acts of kindness in this appealingly, unabashedly feel-good story. <p/><b><i>The Bulletin </i>starred review, May 2014: <br></b>"Readers, themselves often noticers, will appreciate the celebration of a girl whose skill lies in seeing what others don't."<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>MICHELE WEBER HURWITZ grew up in a suburb of Chicago and still lives in the same area with her husband and three children.
