Descriere & specificații

nTen-year-old Tess lives in Peeksgrove, a town so small it doesn't have its own dot on the map. But what Peeksgrove lacks in geographic notoriety, it makes up for in creative genius, leaving poor Tess feeling out of place in her extraordinary town. Each year the town's citizens strive to out-do one another at the county fair, and this year is no different. As the competition boils over, a sleazy salesman rolls into town peddling special seeds, and before long, n nevery home has a new vegetable garden. But Tess soon notices something off about these veggies-and the man who sold them. Now as gargantuan zucchini threaten to take over her school, Tess must work fast to save everyone from culinary crisis. Chockful of wit and whimsy, Growing Out of Peeksgrove is a delightful-and delicious-adventure about self-discovery and finding one's place in a sometimes kooky world.n
