Description
"What if ordinary people could be the heroes?" Thirteen-year-old Nina decides to spend her summer doing 65 secret acts of kindness.
It's the summer before freshman year in high school and Nina decides to follow what someone said at her middle-school graduation: "Be unnoticed, but be remarkable." Her best friend Jorie is focusing on boys, clothes, and popularity, her lawyer parents are diving into a new case, and this is the first summer without her beloved Grandma, so she's is feeling a little lost. She hatches a plan: every day, all summer, she'll do one anonymous kind thing for someone at home or in her neighborhood. Her goal? To bring her family and her beloved community together again.
