Amazon Synopsis:
It's definitely not what she had in mind
for summer vacation.
When her friends disappear under mysterious circumstances, thirteen-year-old Lily sets out to discover more about the secret organization with which they had become involved. Her investigation unearths a disturbing secret from her own past, unsettling her world even more. In the meantime, Lily makes a new friend and falls for a mysterious young man even as she remains unsure about whom she should trust. As her world crashes down around her, Lily struggles to decide what to do next.
Lily is volume two of the Seed Savers series but can easily be read out of order. It is is a suspenseful and reflective book with themes of self-empowerment, trust, acceptance of diversity, gardening, and politics.

Lily (Seed Savers Book 2) follows up on what Clare and Dante’s friend
did after Clare and Dante disappeared. As the sole member of their little Seed
Savers group left, it was up to her to keep the seeds safe.
Lonely for
friendship she reaches out to Rose and they begin to spend time with one
another. Rose is drawn into the Seed Savers group and is so excited when she
discovers a drink can be made by boiling water and some leaves together.
After a few twists
and turns Lily has learned things about her family she was totally unaware of
which has changed her perspective of her parents. People she cares about are in
great danger and she begins to wonder if children are being used by GRIM as
spies. She’s not sure who to trust anymore.
I found this second
installment of this trilogy very enjoyable to read. Lily’s character growth
really took off. She’s having her first crush and she’s starting to make her
own decisions instead of just following along with Clare’s decisions.
It was interesting
to me that the laws of whether to grow food or not were different in each state.
Why the law was not more nationwide was curious to me since I would have
thought that this type of food would have been in demand if it were available
in some states and would have found its way to market.
Lily is definitely a cliffhanger, so be prepared. You’ll have to wait for
the conclusion to the story in the third installment of the story. I very much
enjoyed this book in the series and I gave the book 4 stars out of 5.
Thank you to the
author for providing a copy of the book in exchange for a fair and honest
review. A positive opinion was not required. All thoughts are my own.
