review 1: I expected less of this book but once I started I knew I wasn't gonna stop! this book is about a girl named Lanie she wishes to be a scientist when she grows up. Lanie's aunt Hannah comes to visit and they start a garden together, aunt Hannah leaves Lanie when she has to go and Lanie misses her terribly. Lanie has trouble planting in her garden alone and she finds someone she didn't expect who can help out her project.
review 2: My daughter Makani and I read this book together. This is a great mother-daughter read. Lots of food for thought and discussion. What I like most is that Lanie loves science just as daughter does, and this book has helped Makani start her own science journal. She's been climbing trees to do some bird watching and to take notes on the ... morebehaviors and bird calls of those outside our house.And I like that Lanie struggles with emotions like envy and disappointment. More discussion material.This is a great book for girls ages 8 to 12. less
