A review by shanaal
Seed by Caryl Lewis

5.0

I absolutely adored the imagination of this book while it took on some hard topics. My heart went out to the main character who was was essentially raising himself and seemed to lack hope. His mother is a hoarder and I don't feel like that is often brought up in literature. He makes a friend and, with the help of his grandad, they grow a pumpkin of wishes to sail to Paris. I think any child who likes Roald Dahl or Willy Wonka could really appreciate this book.
