The Summer I Saved the World . . . in 65 Days

<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?<br />   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.<br />   In this bighearted, sweetly romantic novel, things may not turn out exactly as Nina expects. They might be better.</p><br /><br /><br /><i>From the Hardcover edition.</i>
