I loved the way that the story expertly and naturally taught about predators, eco systems, and ethics as part of a beautiful story. The characters were fully fleshed out & each was quirky and lovely in their own way.  I love thinking about the continuation of the story: Deanna & Lucca becoming friends and Crystal & Lowell getting to know their grandfather and Nana…The eventual success in breeding American Chestnuts that are blight resistant…. This story will stay with me.  Barbara Kingsolver has done it again.
