Fern wishes she had normal parents and a normal name. Instead, she has eccentric botanist parents who named her after her father's favorite plant. Fern's mother, Lily, assures her one day she'll understand their love of plants, but Fern can't believe it. She hates plants and could do with less of them in her life.
Then Lily disappears suddenly while attending to a mysterious and rare silver rose. Fern and her dad are heartbroken but have no idea what could have happened. Then one day, Fern learns that she has a one-of-a-kind talent: she can communicate with plants and so could her mother! Using her newfound skill, she learns that her mother is in terrible danger, and she is the only one who can save her - with a little help from her friends, the plants.

" A fun read for my 10 year old. She enjoyed it. "
" One of the best books I've ever read. "
" Clever and full of adventure. "
" I will admit that this botanical mystery took me a while to get into. There are some parts that would need explaining to some kiddos. It's nature, adventure,and evil doctors trying to take over the world! "
" I want to write to the author and ask her to write a series because the end left me wanting to know more! "
" This story was alright, but I listened to the audio book and the reader was just atrocious. Very little depth, but at least interesting enough to finish. "
" Great fun, good wordplay...a young adult book that I would recommend. Like a nicer version of A Series of Unfortunate Events. "
" This was a fairly interesting book about a girl who can talk to plants. Well written but there were too many characters who went no where in the story. It looks like there will be a second book... "
" This book was a really good read and I found it really different to other books I have read. It makes you feel for plants! "
" This was a really good book, although at the beginning I didn't think there was enough detail. Still, I give it a 5. because I give almost everything a five. "
