Review Quotes: "There are many reasons to commend and recommend this book... it provides realistic, achievable role modeling. Leena is an ordinary kid. Her mom looks like a mom, not a fashion model. They spend a night together counting interesting critters, contributing to our understanding of horseshoe crabs.
