#BacktoSchool with the Seed Savers Series
All good things must come to an end, and so the summer of 2017 is winding down. It’s been a doozy, what with the solar eclipse and all.
But no need to be sad! Thousands of kids around the country are excitedly counting down the number of days to return to their classrooms and school friends (and in many places are already back!)
If you are a teacher, librarian, or parent, you understand the value of a good book. With so many distractions these days, kids might forget the comfort or excitement of a book that resonates with them.
Let me introduce the Seed Savers series–maybe someone you know is looking for a series like this one. Seed Savers is set in a future where gardening is illegal and real food is unknown. Three young friends must decide what to do when they discover the truth about the “old ways” of food. Out to stop them is GRIM, the government agency controlling the nation’s food.

Testimonials
“Smith’s Seed Savers books are great reads for young people on many levels. The action is packed with secret acts of civil disobedience, escape from evil GRIM thugs and independent cross-country treks. Plus, teens will both recognize and learn about issues surrounding food sources. Seed Saver books have something for everyone: diverse characters, themes of empowerment, revolution, and even a little romance.” —Joyce Yoder, Middle School Principal
“My 10 yr old daughter says this series is the best she has ever read. She hopes volume 5 will be out soon. She said when she was finished reading this last book she felt like throwing a fit because she couldn’t read another in the series. My daughter is an avid reader and has never thrown a fit or said she had ever wanted to until she finished this book. Hope there are more to come in this series.” —Recent Verified Purchase Review on Amazon
“This is a great book for kids. I love how it brings back the importance of eating healthy fresh food, and does it in an entertaining way. I love to garden and am trying to pass the love on to my kids. I will definitely be recommending this book to them. I look forward to the next book. I wasn’t ready for the book to end when it did.” –From Julie on the Audible edition of Treasure
