It is the beginning of summer.  65 long hot, muggy days lay ahead.  Nina’s parents and brother are preoccupied with their own problems.  In fact, everyone in her neighborhood cul-de-sac seems to be busy. Normally, Nina and her grandmother would be involved in a project or cooking, but Grandma died last year and Nina is on her own.  She needs a plan. Nina wonders, what would happen if she does one kind deed each day?  “Does doing good really do any good?”    (Booktalk by Pennsylvania Young Reader’s Choice Award Committee)
