![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ana, a volunteer at the after-school club at the church, is dedicated to passing her seed-saving knowledge on to the next generation. Furthermore it has prohibited the preservation of biodiversity and natural selection in food plants that keeps us with robust strains likely to adapt to climate change and weather patterns, pests and diseases, and, most importantly, enable people to save their seeds year after year to provide for the future. In S Smith’s world, food choice has long gone, since the corporate agribusinesses managed to hoodwink governments into belief in factory farming on a national scale, using genetically modifed crops. Their adventure is about growing food – in secret. Actually it is about escape from totalitarian regimes and a return to fresh food and freedom of choice to grow it, but on the surface it is just about 12 year old Clare, her seven year old brother Dante and their friends Lily (same age as Clare) and Ana, who is substantially older – kind of my age. This is a Middle Grade SciFi book about gardening. ![]()
