ImperfectCJ | Jun 28, 2020 |    ) jmorrison | Mar 16, 2009 |  ) Turrean | Oct 1, 2008 | The plot seemed to move very slowly. One reason for that might be that at the beginning, there were a lot of "backstory breaks" -- paragraphs of flashback or explanation -- that interrupted the flow. I was always being told how the character felt after everything that happened, rather than her reacting and letting me figure out as a reader what that meant about how she felt. And it seemed like just about every time an adult spoke, it was a not-so-veiled attempt to preach the virtues of family farming. Don't get me wrong -- I'm completely in favor of supporting local family farming. But I don't want to read a children's book where all the adults are constantly preaching about something. Overall, I felt the book could have been at least 100 pages shorter. There were a lot of details and even a few scenes included that didn't add anything to the plot or characterization or setting.

Elizabeth Angier was happy to be at the end of the school year. She thought her summer on the family farm would be full of work and play with her best friend, Rachel, and her other best friend, her dog, Maizey. However, Elizabeth didn't anticipate the Harmony Farms Corporation moving to her town. Her world starts to crumble as her best friend moves away and her parents whisper of farmers selling their land and the effects this factory farm operation could have on them. When she thinks things can't get much worse, she meets the most unusual creature, Gaia, the living entity of the Earth. Strange things begin to happen to her, around her, and through her! Elizabeth discovers that with these new powers comes responsibility. A dire mistake makes Elizabeth wonder if meeting Gaia has been a blessing or a curse. Will Elizabeth have the strength to fight a large corporation? Or will her upstate New York home be spoiled by profit driven pork production that fouls the air, land, and water?

I wasn't thrilled with this one at first, but it grew on me. There's some action just past the midway point that I found particularly well written. It has a similar feel and themes as The Overstory by Richard Powers but for a middle-grade audience, and would be great as part of a family reading crate (like Emily Cook at Build Your Library used to offer).
Having said this, I should also mention that my own children haven't been particularly interested in reading this one, and I'm not sure I enjoyed it enough to pick up any other books in the series. (
