The perfect book right now for young readers searching for hope,
strength, inspiration -- and just a little horticultural havoc.--New
York Times
The first book in a can't-put-it-down, can't-read-it-fast-enough
action-thriller trilogy that's part Hatchet, part *Alien!
*
The invasion begins--but not as you'd expect. It begins with rain. Rain
that carries seeds. Seeds that sprout--overnight, everywhere. These new
plants take over crop fields, twine up houses, and burrow below streets.
They bloom--and release toxic pollens. They bloom--and form Venus
flytrap-like pods that swallow animals and people. They
bloom--everywhere, unstoppable.
Or are they? Three kids on a remote island seem immune to the toxic
plants. Anaya, Petra, Seth. They each have strange allergies--and yet
not to these plants. What's their secret? Can they somehow be the key
to beating back this invasion? They'd better figure it out fast, because
it's starting to rain again....
