The Brilliant Fall of Gianna Z / Kate Messner / 198 pages / Mark Twain Award Nominee 2011-12

Gianna loves to run cross country but if she fails science she will not be able to run sectionals.  She is bad about deadlines and her friend, Zig, helps her out.  Her Nonna had come to live with them after she broke her hip.  She is getting forgetful.  She loves to go to the Italian Market in Montreal, says it's like jumping into a giant tossed salad.  Gianna's father owns and runs the local funeral home and takes Gianna to school in the hearse.  Bianca is trying to sabotage Gianna's trip to sectionals.
