Patricia Polacco When Lightning Comes in a Jar Have you ever been to a family reunion? “My dad’s family will come soon” Tricia said. “We might catch lightning in a jar.” Tricia’s grandma said. “It is going to be awesome this year.” I love this book because they went to a family reunion and I have not. I recommend this book if you are seven-years-old and up and if you like cliffhangers.

It's family reunion time! Trisha and her cousins can hardly wait to see one another again. They can't decide what they like best: the great feast (with zillions of meatloafs and gazillions of Jell-O salads), the softball game, the storytelling . . . the yearly rituals go on and on. But this year, Gramma has a new surprise in store: She promises to teach the grandchildren to catch lightning in a jar. Lightning in a jar! Trisha can't wait to find out what she means. It's a secret she will pass down to her own grandchildren one day, along with the family stories handed down with love through all the generations.
