The Brilliant Fall of Gianna Z

On your mark . . . get set . . . go finish your science project?

All Gianna Zales wants is to compete at the cross-country finals, but there's something standing in her way--a science project. She has less than a week to collect and document twenty-five leaves, and she'll lose her spot on the team if she can't pull it off. With a forgetful grandmother, a hearse-driving father, a mean-girl running rival, and new feelings toward her best friend, Gianna wishes life would just leave her alone to finish the project. Can Gianna Z. get the stroke of brilliance she needs to make it all work out?
