Bookroo's summary

Thirteen-year-old Nina Ross feels adrift after her grandmother's passing. With her family busy and friends changing, she devises a summer plan: perform 65 anonymous good deeds in her neighborhood. As Nina embarks on this mission, she wonders if her actions can truly make a difference. Along the way, she uncovers unexpected secrets and surprises within her community and family. Will her summer of kindness lead to the change she hopes for, or something even more profound? Join Nina on a heartfelt journey of discovery and transformation, where the smallest acts of kindness may hold the greatest power.

From the publisher

One summer. One girl. One plan. Inspired by her late grandmother, Nina Ross sets out to do 65 anonymous good things for her family and neighbors, one for each day of summer vacation, to find out if doing good actually does any good. But things don’t turn out exactly as she envisioned.
