Commentary Conducive To Books Treasure (Seed Savers #1)

Two kids, two bikes, and an idea they can change their world.

It’s 2077. There’s no apocalypse, but some things are different. Things like the weather, the internet, and food. In twelve-year-old Clare’s world, blueberry is just a flavor and apples are found only in fairy tales.

Then one day Clare meets an old woman who teaches her about seeds and real food. The woman (Ana) tempts Clare with the notion that food exists other than the square, processed, packaged food she has always known. Under Ana’s tutelage, Clare and her friends learn about seeds and gardening despite suspicions that such actions are illegal.

When the authorities discover the children’s forbidden tomato plant and arrest their mother, Clare and her brother flee. Clare has heard of a place called "The Garden State," and with their bikes, a little money, and backpacks, the children begin a lonely cross-country journey that tests them both physically and spiritually. Will they succeed in their quest to find a place of food freedom?  And can they, only children, help change the world?

Treasure is a gentle dystopian, frightening only is the possibility that we may not be far from the future it paints.

This simply-written story is an adventure story about lots of big ideas! Middle grade dystopia strikes again!12-year-old Clare discovers the existence of seeds in a world where growing your own vegetables is a crime. A teacher brings forbidden knowledge about plants into after-school homework help--using Bible verses to smuggle in basic botany. Tomatoes and peaches? This is the first time the children have ever heard of them. They've only ever eaten Protein, Sweeties, Vitees, Carbos, and Snacks.

**A free copy of this book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.**This is going to be a difficult review to write, because while I noticed some flaws in the book, it was a quick, fun read. I'll start with what I liked. First, I think that this would be a nice dystopian for someone who would like to read something from this genre, but wants a tamer, non-violent story. The dystopian society is lighter than many of the societies in other dystopian books; it's not too

Recently some writer friends of mine were discussing the fact that often children nowadays do not know where their food comes from. Panicked, I asked my 5 year old where a few items of food came from, and he answered correctly, however my 4 year old thought that milk came from the supermarket and that they made carrots there!Just goes to show how lucky we are to be able to just buy our food, washed, prepared and ready to cook and eat. Claire, Dante and Lily however live in a world where their

Scary. But with all that's going on in the world today, seems like it just might be probable... I think it could be used as a classroom book for kids 4th grade up, particularly schools with botany or garden programs. Food worries and baffles me a good deal these days. I have noticed for about 30 years that kids are getting disconnected from the farm. Maybe more community gardens are needed. Anyway, briefly, I liked the characters of Clare, Dante, Lily, and Ana. They were likable and well

Claire (12) and Dante (7) are a sister and brother duo who live in a futuristic society where gardening is prohibited. The Green Resource Investigation Machine (GRIM) is the corporation in charge of policing the distribution and use of seeds. In fact, GRIM has been so effective in its job that even the language around seeds, planting, and gardening has been erased from the collective memory of society. In this society, nutrients and vitamins are distributed in tablet form instead, creating a

.E.R.F.E.C.T !! A dystopian novel, full of mystery, adventure and sacrifice. What is unique thing about this, the characters are teens!! No need romance to make the adventure more interest. What you need is to follow their trace using their bike to go to a safe place for them to grow their plant. The saddest thing, when they have to protect all those seeds from GRIM. What a brilliant way to educate teens how to protect nature for the best future.
