Checking Availibility...Description
It was just rain.
But after the downpour, odd black plants begin to shoot up.
Suddenly--
They. Are. Everywhere.
They take over fields and twine around houses. They bloom and throw off toxic pollen--and feed.
Strangely, Anaya, Petra and Seth, three Salt Spring Island teens, seem immune. What's their connection? What's their secret? A week ago, they wouldn't have thought they had one.
But they'd better figure it out fast--the invasion has already begun.
About this Author
Reviews
