Treasureby S. SmithIt’s 2077. There’s no apocalypse, but some things are different. Things like the weather, the internet, and food. In Clare’s world, blueberry is just a flavor, and apples are found only in fairy tales. One day, Clare meets a woman who teaches her about real food–not the square, packaged food she has always known. Clare learns about seeds and gardening despite the fact that growing your own food is illegal. When the authorities discover the children’s illicit 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, she and Dante 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 shape the future? $0.99 [amazon-element asin=”B008FRCAEY” fields=”button” button_url=”http://bookbarbarian.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Amazon-Buy-Button.jpg”] Other Retailers Category: Science Fiction – Dystopian |
