Seed — Caryl Lewis

A heartwarming tale of a boy, his grandad, and a magical seed that takes them on an unforgettable journey.

Marty doesn't have much -- unlike his mom, who seems to hold on to everything. Life at home is tough, but Marty finds sanctuary down at the community garden with his eccentric grandad.

On Marty's birthday, Grandad gifts him a seed. "There's magic in seeds, you know. You can never tell what wonders are in them." As it turns out, Grandad has a rather wonderful plan up his sleeve. It involves wishes, a pumpkin, and a trip all the way from England to Paris.

Funny, inspiring, and larger-than-life, Seed is a story about believing in dreams -- your own, and those of the people you love. This heartwarming tale of family, friendship, and adventure is perfect for readers ages 8-12 who enjoy a touch of magical realism mixed with relatable themes of bullying, mental health, and unconventional families.
