Description Concering Books Treasure (Seed Savers #1)
Two kids, two bikes, and an idea they can change their world.It’s 2077. There’s no apocalypse, but some things are different. Things like the weather, the internet, and food. In twelve-year-old Clare’s world, blueberry is just a flavor and apples are found only in fairy tales.
Then one day Clare meets an old woman who teaches her about seeds and real food. The woman (Ana) tempts Clare with the notion that food exists other than the square, processed, packaged food she has always known. Under Ana’s tutelage, Clare and her friends learn about seeds and gardening despite suspicions that such actions are illegal.
When the authorities discover the children’s forbidden tomato plant and arrest their mother, Clare and her brother flee. Clare has heard of a place called "The Garden State," and with their bikes, a little money, and backpacks, the children begin a lonely cross-country journey that tests them both physically and spiritually. Will they succeed in their quest to find a place of food freedom? And can they, only children, help change the world?
Treasure is a gentle dystopian, frightening only is the possibility that we may not be far from the future it paints.

This simply-written story is an adventure story about lots of big ideas! Middle grade dystopia strikes again!12-year-old Clare discovers the existence of seeds in a world where growing your own vegetables is a crime. A teacher brings forbidden knowledge about plants into after-school homework help--using Bible verses to smuggle in basic botany. Tomatoes and peaches? This is the first time the children have ever heard of them. They've only ever eaten Protein, Sweeties, Vitees, Carbos, and Snacks.What would you do if you lived in a world where it was illegal to plant seeds and grow your own food?Clare, Dante and Lily live in a society where the government controls the food found on the grocery store shelves. Its packaged in square boxes supposedly filled with vitamins and nutrients. Backyard gardens were no longer in existence and any plant life in a home was just for looks and didnt produce any fruits or vegetables. Clare, Dante and Lily dont know about food producing plants or seeds,

What would it be like if the government controlled all of our food sources? Twelve-year-old Clare, her seven-year-old brother Dante and Clare's best friend Lily grow up in a time when they don't know where there meals come from, other than trucks or stores. Owning, buying and planting all seeds are illegal and if GRIM caught you breaking this law, you'll be fined or jailed. Clare, Dante and Lily meet Ana, an elderly woman who is a member of a secret society, The Seed Savers. She covertly teaches
.E.R.F.E.C.T !! A dystopian novel, full of mystery, adventure and sacrifice. What is unique thing about this, the characters are teens!! No need romance to make the adventure more interest. What you need is to follow their trace using their bike to go to a safe place for them to grow their plant. The saddest thing, when they have to protect all those seeds from GRIM. What a brilliant way to educate teens how to protect nature for the best future.
A book with a cast of diverse characters importing real life lessons for children! Yes! Sign me up for the whole series please! A dystopian novel featuring teens that doesn't require romance to stand up on it's own two feet, sign me up twice. It's the future but an uncomfortably near future. Growing your own food is banned and it only took a generation for people to forget how to plant things and to convince children that food only comes from a store but... There is a gentle rebellion happening
Set in the future, food production has been completely taken over by the government, and growing backyard gardens is forbidden. An elderly woman named Ana begins to teach 3 kids the secrets of fresh food -- but that leads to trouble.I enjoyed this book. I think it would be good for middle grade readers, especially the ones who are concerned about environmental issues.
