The synopsis I got was super vague, though. I thought Savi herself would be a memory keeper, kind of a magical realism book. That she'd hold memories of people before the grief set in. No, this is a book about a magical tree who keeps the memories. It lets Savi have memories of her late father, and also raises awareness of humans ruining its habitat. I was not the intended audience for this. I couldn't relate to anyone, despite wanting to. The whole time, I felt like I was missing something. The buildup of whether the tree would die or be cut down was--um, I thought I was getting a different book. Just--okay. I do hope others enjoy it. I wasn't the intended audience for it.. ( ) If Savi were to make a list of things that were the absolute worst, moving to Shajarpur would be right on top. Well, right after the point about missing her father. And death. And her new school, with the most stuck-up of classmates. Worse, she is now part of an eco club in which they make fun of her for not having enough green gyaan. And those stuck-up classmates seem to be her new friends. Wait, what? How did that happen? But Savi is too busy figuring out why in the world she, a certified brown thumb, is suddenly able to talk to us (her plants) and to the ginormous ficus tree, whose heartwood seems full of secrets. Funny, thoughtful and deeply moving, this is a story of loss, climate change and the magical power of... Ahem. Actually, why don't we just let Savi tell it now? aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML: Funny, thoughtful, and deeply movingâ??with a unique blend of fantasy and actual scienceâ??this novel explores both personal grief in the face of family loss and collective grief in the face of climate crisis, and how the only way to move forward is through friendship of all kinds. In Shajarpur, everyone is always happy. The weather is always perfect. But newcomer Savi, a lonely teenager, doesn't know what happiness means anymore. If she were to make a list of things that were the absolute worst, moving to Shajarpur would be right on top. Well, right after missing her father, who just died of a heart attack. As Savi grapples with loss in a strange new town, she discovers something startling. Not only can she communicate with her father's plantsâ??all forty-two of themâ??she can talk to the giant ficus tree behind her school.

However, Tree is in danger, along with everything else, and needs Savi's help. As she joins with all kinds of living things to save the town, Savi is shocked to find she is happy again, even if forces of nature are beyond her c Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
