After reading all of the praise for Seedfolk I rushed out and read it. While I feel it contains a noble message, I question its appeal to children. Adults may love this book, but how many kids will? Nothing really happens. The stories of each individual are powerful, but too short. We never get to know anyone well and I could guess the ending after the first few pages. I know I am going against the flow of public. I'm bracing myself for your response.
Happy Holidays
Elizabeth
