Synopsis

For-mer means once-upon-a-time.

Nina tried as hard as she could to keep track of everything, but somehow she still forgot about her school project. And her friend Jay is mad at her. With littlesister Kavita’s birthday party right around the corner, and her longtime friendship with Jay on the rocks, there’s a lot going on.

Fortunately, a class lesson about Alexander Fleming suggests how she might make a great discovery—and thus a great project! But even with the help of family and friends, and her trusty notebook full of lists, will she be able to get it all done?
