Great Ball of Light

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Jeremy Holmes. During a tremendous storm, twelve-year-old twins Fenton and Fiona find a ball of light with the power to restore life to the dead--sort of. They experiment on the deceased family dog before moving on to digging up their grandfather, with mixed results. This comic science-fiction romp explores themes of ethical science experimentation and family forgiveness. Field guide–style illustrations appear throughout.
