Book Synopsis



De la autora ganadora del Premio Newbery es esta novela llena de "corazón y acción", de acuerdo a Booklist.

Con la ayuda de sus amigos, Natalie inicia, sin saberlo, un viaje de autodescubrimiento. La ciencia de la esperanza será su mayor hallazgo.

Natalie cree que la competencia de caída de huevos, sugerida por el señor Neely, puede ser la solución a sus problemas. Si ella y sus amigos ganan el premio en metálico, podrá llevar a su madre, una botánica apasionada que sufre de depresión, a conocer las míticas orquídeas azul cobalto. Esas flores, que sobreviven contra todo pronóstico, podrían devolverle a cualquiera el amor por la vida.

Los amigos de Natalie deciden hacerse cargo del asunto y demostrarle que lo más importante es hablar de sus problemas, pues es como sacar una planta de la oscuridad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Natalie's uplifting story of using the scientific process to "save" her mother from depression is what Booklist calls "a winning story full of heart and action."

When Natalie's science teacher suggests that she enter an egg drop competition, Natalie thinks that this might be the perfect solution to all of her problems. There's prize money, and if she and her friends wins, then she can fly her botanist mother to see the miraculous Cobalt Blue Orchids--flowers that survive against impossible odds. Natalie's mother has been suffering from depression, and Natalie is sure that the flowers' magic will inspire her mom to love life again. Which means it's time for Natalie's friends to step up and show her that talking about a problem is like taking a plant out of a dark cupboard and giving it light. With their help, Natalie begins an uplifting journey to discover the science of hope, love, and miracles.

A vibrant, loving debut about the coming-of-age moment when kids realize that parents are people, too. Think THE FOURTEENTH GOLDFISH meets THE THING ABOUT JELLYFISH.
