| Publisher Description: Lexi and Jason Williams take center stage at school when Principal Gordon enlists their help to establish a school garden at Beacon Academy. The kids are thrilled to be selected as Green Ambassadors for this important project, but quickly learn how challenging it can be to work with others toward a common goal. Not only must they teach their fellow students how to garden, Lexi and Jason feel the pressure to make it fun and exciting (or become known as "The Most Boring Gardeners Ever" in school history). When the principal reveals a generous amount of grant money has been offered to continue the green program if the children succeed, the stakes rise. No worries Lexi and Jason are up to the task, assisted by their student council members. But as they formulate, organize and implement the plan for Beacon Academy's first school garden, the kids are sidetracked by trouble, toils and trauma. Everyone has their OWN opinion on how to care for their plants, what should be done, and who should be doing it. Hey-wait a minute. Who's in charge around here? Find out in book 2 of the Wild Tales & Garden Thrills series... Book #3 The Muddy Fingers Garden Crew follows the children from school to a nearby neighborhood where they work to save a friend's community garden in jeopardy of closing due to a squabble among neighbors. Will all be lost? Not if the kids have anything to say about it (spring 2017) Ages 7 - 10 Grades 2 - 5 Lexile: 650L |
