| Publisher Description: It's Zera's fifteenth birthday, but she's finding little to celebrate. Zera's uncle and guardian, "the Toad," and his girlfriend, Tiffany, are dragging Zera to the grand opening of a GMO fast-food restaurant. On the menu are a few of the Toad's creations, including "beefy fries," created from potatoes engineered with the genes of a cow; potatoes that bleed when sliced and cooked. As if a nauseating meal out weren't bad enough, Zera's in trouble at school for a prank she didn't do -- and her classmates think she is a freak. The single light in her birthday will be a gift from her grandmother. A gift that will lead her to uncovering her family's centuries-old mystical connection to nature -- a gift that will lead her to the battle of her life. |
