Seedfolks by Paul Fleischman

 

 
"The word paradise comes out of my mouth, with out thinking."
-Sam, Seedfolks
That is what you will be thinking to after you read this heartwarming story told from the view of 12 characters. Through out the book each hopeful character adds there own touch to change a dirty, vacant lot into a community paradise.
 
"From paradise, the garden was turning back into Cleveland."
-Sam, Seedfolks
Like all books a desperate turn occurs. Reality comes back into play and an angry citizen tears all the plants out of the garden, wrecking all the hard work these people completed. All the pretty flowers, ripe food, and exotic plants had gone to waste. What happens next? Can all these people from different backgrounds come together and replant everything? Not to mention how hard it is to lug water to the lot, will everyone give up? Read and find out for yourself in Seedfolks  by Paul Fleischman.
