This science-fiction book is about a girl named Holly Evans who launches vegetable seedlings into the sky on May 11, 1999. One June 29, Robert Bernabe, a hiker, discovers gigantic turnips. Other vegetables fall from the sky in many other states as well. Holly is confused. She didn't plant the vegetables that are falling from the sky. In a place completely elsewhere, another species has just caused the entire food supply from the starcruiser he is touring on to fall towards Earth. The fascinating part- he receives Holly's seedlings the same day as the huge vegetables fall from the sky. I would use this book to teach students about alliteration and have them come up with a vegetable that starts with the same letter as a verb, then a state they choose to go after it. For example, peppers plunge towards Pennsylvania. Thursday, March 3, 2011
