Seedfolks by Paul Fleischman

I read this book as a possible choice to review for one of my book clubs. It turns out that lately I've recommended books for other people to review, not thinking ahead that I'd have to come up with one for myself to review. So at the last minute I was going through lists of books I've read and not finding one I was in the mood to review.  Audrey suggested this one, so I read it to see what I thought.

I liked the book. It's a young adult book, and only 70 pages long. It's about a group of people who turn a vacant lot into a community garden area in the city of Cleveland. Each chapter is from the point of view of a different person. I zipped right through it, and had decided to review it next month. I think you could have some good discussion about people in general, which character you thought you were most like, and which character you liked the most.

In the end I went with another book. Probably not as good for discussion, but it was a book I really liked, and I think everyone else will also like. I'm just in the mood for a feel good, fun book. Sometimes that just has to win.
