Seed Savers #2
Lily
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 were 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 whom to 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 a suspenseful and reflective book with themes of self-empowerment, trust, acceptance of diversity, gardening, and politics.

Lily lives in the United States but it is a different world than what we know. People are not allowed to grow their own food or even to own seeds or plants. The government controls all the food. Lily was sad when her friends Clare and Dante ran away to Canada. They went to Canada because they heard that you could grow your own food there. Lily still tended to the veggies the kids were all growing together in secret. She did make a new friend, named Rose. One day, she takes Rose to meet Ana, the lady who taught Clare, Dante, and Lily about seeds and food. Ana decides to teach Rose about them too. After Rose is comfortable with the seeds (and the fact that it is illegal to be doing this), the duo meet Arturo, another seed saver. Arturo told Lily that he doesn’t trust Rose, but Rose says she doesn’t trust him. Lily doesn’t know who to trust.
This was a great sequel! Like the first book, “Lily” is a well written dystopian book with a great story. Unlike the first book, it is told in first person, from Lily’s point of view. That is a great touch. I really like to learn about the seed savers and the weird world they live in. The book started off just a bit slow, but the plot soon got me hooked. There is an awesome cliffhanger at the end of the book but I won’t tell you about it! :) I can’t wait for book 3 to come out to read what happens next. Lily is a great character. She is a very modern girl and it’s cool that the dystopian world she lives in happens about the same time as we are living in. The other characters in the book are also very believable. I think kids 9+ will enjoy this book!

I read the first installment of Seed Savers early this last summer. I loved it. I was so excited to find a new “undiscovered” young adult author and immediately blogged about it. Illegal gardening, fresh produce, dystopian society, kids on the run… how much more exciting could it possibly get? Way more, that’s how much.
With the arrival of Lily, I expected to get “the further adventures of Clare and Dante,” but what I got was much more. Lily, a side character in the first book, Treasure, tries to continue the mission of saving seeds in her hometown after the disappearance of Clare and Dante. Rather than getting “Treasure” all over again, a common fault in sequels in general, Lily is a book all its own and full of secrets, secrets, and more secrets. Not only was Lily hiding plants from Dante and Clare, she has a past she wasn’t even aware of, a past that could change everything.
Smith succeeded, again, in writing a fantastic and educational adventure that I cannot wait to share with my nieces and nephews, and later with my daughter. It is so fun and refreshing to read something new, something real, that doesn’t have anything to do with vampires, werewolves, or zombies. Although there is a time and place for such fantasy fiction for young adults, it’s nice to know that there are authors out there that have something more on the brain than the latest (recurring) fad that has swept the nation and the world.
Seed Savers is about using your brain, questioning the world around you and how it should be, becoming a better person, and making the world a better place. These are things every kid should be encouraged to do. And for the adults reading these books, it reminds us that many kids want to when they are given the chance.

If you haven’t read the first in the series, Treasure,you should do so first. There is gentle explanation here of the situation to date, but it is just SO much better to read them in sequence! Lily is missing her friends, and kicking around doing nothing much in her summer vacation except visiting her illegally planted seeds to see how they are faring. She makes a new friend in Rose, and like Lily, I was never sure how much she could be trusted, and whether she was a true friend or not. And then they start being followed by an annoying or incredibly interesting (depending on your point of view) boy aged about fourteen, who turns out to know a lot about growing plants – and eating them too. Very suspicious!
The plot twists like a climbing bean, throws shadows like the shadiest tomato plant and ripens like a true blueberry just when you least expect it! In many ways this second story is a transitional one, taking us through some necessary history and personal developments, on to what might be the denouement – but I’m beginning not to be sure whether all will be revealed in Heirloom, or whether there will be more in the series. This is no cliffhanger – it is a fully rounded story, satisfactory in its plot and characterisation, as well as threat and tension. The world is not only believable, but presages recent concerns over snooping through social media. Ms Smith has taken real-world concerns on limitations of personal freedom and taken them to a wholly logical conclusion.
Rise up, MG readers everywhere, and fight for your right to real food – and the right to grow it in your backyard, or balcony – and to tell your friends about it on the internet! Read the Seed Savers series, and beware!

Lily is shocked when her best friends Clare and Dante disappear after their mother is arrested. They’re just kids! She knows they ran away because the authorities suspected them of growing vegetables illegally. But Clare and her little brother aren’t the ones with the most to hide. Without her friends’ knowledge, Lily had started a variety of seeds in vacant lots around the city. She’s watching them grow, but doesn’t have a clue what to do with them as they ripen. She doesn’t even know what “ripen” means.
In the first book of S. Smith’s futuristic Seed Savers series for middle-grade kids, Treasure, the three kids had begun their learning from an old woman, Ana, who entrusted them with teaching, contraband seeds, and a few illegal books. It had been many years since food-growing had been illegalized. Now Lily is learning from Ana on her own. She makes a new friend in Rose, who seems eager to learn about real food.
But then they’re followed by a boy, Lily learns a startling revelation about the father she thought dead, and something is going on with Rose. How loyal is Lily to her new way of life? Is it worth everything to her?
Lily is set partially simultaneously with Treasure in that it continues on in the home city after Clare and Dante leave partway through Treasure. Thus, it doesn’t make the best standalone story, but then, it wasn’t meant to. The Seed Saver series is meant to intrigue kids into understanding how important and interesting real food is by showing them a dystopian world, all too easily imagined, in which gardening is illegal.
Highly recommended both as a teaching tool for kids and as a fun story for young readers.

I liked this book a lot. As in Seed Savers it was a really quick read, and the little quirks I noticed in Seed Savers have all been fixed in this sequel.
Lily is told in first person, which initially I had some reservations about. It's my opinion that you should probably not switch from third person to first person (Seed Savers was told in third person), but I think the story really benifitted from this switch, so I ended up liking it a lot.
We get to know Lily more in this story, which I really liked, seeing as she dropped out of Seed Savers in the middle, and we weren't able to get to know her as much as Clare and Dante. I think she may be my favorite out of the three so far; I got to know her better because of the first person switch.
The book has a few nice twists to keep the plot from becoming predictable, and introduces some new (and newish) characters. I liked Arturo a lot.
This series fills the void for younger-audience dystopians. Even so, older readers will love it too! I enjoyed Lily, and after that ending, I can say with confidence I will be reading the next one in the series.

Just finished the second book in this series. I really enjoyed this, almost more than Treasures. Lily's sadness over the disapperance of her friends, followed by her discoveries of her unknown past are quite suspenseful. I got to the last page and said "NO!" I need to know what happens next. Can't wait for the next book....

In book one of Seed Savers readers learned about Clare, Dante and Lily. With the help of their friend Ana they learned about a secret society of seed savers and are now learning how to save seeds and plant gardens to grow food. But it’s illegal and GRIM is on their trail which is why Clare and Dante fled to the “Garden State” because Lily was missing. Now readers will learn what happened to Lily.
Lily had been checking on her hidden garden in the nearby park when she saw GRIM at Clare and Dante’s home. She remained hidden and panicked. After speaking with Ana, who calmed her nerves, she learned a little more about the incident. Now, Lily continued to learn more from Ana and had also acquired a new friends and fellow gardeners named Rose and Arturo. She also learned that her father helped start the seed savers group. Not only that, he was alive and well when she thought he had died and that her mom was apart of the same movement but stopped because of GRIM. Lily has a lot more to learn about the seed savers and how she will carry on the tradition. She will also need to get the help of Clare and Dante if she can find them.
This second book in the Seed Savers series by author Sandra Smith provides a lot for young readers to ponder as this dystopian world could happen today. Readers will enjoy discovering how food is grown and can put themselves in the situation of the characters and discuss what they would do. Parents and teachers can use this as a read-a-loud and open up dialogue about food sources and how kids can learn to plant and grow their own food.

This is dystopian series written for children. In dystopian novels the future has arrived in chilling details, and this second book in the seed saver series is no exception.
Lily's friends Claire and Dante have left town, after their mother was arrested for keeping illegal seeds and plants. Lily moves around town discretely watching and tending the seeds she has sown. Rose becomes a presence in her life, and Lily's feelings of Rose vary between hesitant and trusting. Lily's mother quietly watches in the background, and Lily does not feel she can trust her with the enormity of the secrets she holds inside; of Clare and Dante, their friendship with Ana and the truth about her part in growing plants illegally. We learn more about the Seed Saver's underground society and how a dark cloud of GRIM that stands over their community.
Set in the not-so-distant future, Seed Savers is a series of books for children that explores the possibility of what we, as a society face, as large corporations control more and more of our food supply and the use of GMO products. As a children's librarian, I can see the value of this interesting and relative topic. If a child picks up one of these books and says, hey, I understand this concept, that is one step closer to knowledge that can help these events from becoming more widespread in the future.

In this second novel in the Seed Savers Series, thirteen-year-old Lily is on a mission in a world where growing your own food is illegal. Her best friends had left her banned seeds before they disappeared (book #1, "Treasure") so Lily plants them, hoping GRIM does not find out. Her elderly friend, Ana, also a Seed Saver, covertly teaches Lily and her new friend Rose food preservation. But can Rose be trusted? Then Lily befriends Arturo. His family grows their own food too. Can he be trusted? In an uncertain world, Lily searches to find out the truth about her missing friends and hopes to unearth a family secret.

Lily is captivating from the start. It immediately encompasses you with suspense and intrigue. Totally fascinated by all the new vocabulary words introduced throughout the book. There are moments that Lily's courage and her determination reminded us of our own. My middle school book clubbers and I recommend that you read Lily of the Seed Savers series by Sandra Smith to not only enjoy the adventures of a teen or to sow your gardening passions but to also be reminded of your own strengths.

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.

(I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a review).
(This review may contain spoilers).
I felt this book worked really well as a sequel to Treasure. It was nice to see a first person POV book actually stick to one POV character... though if I'm honest, I noticed at least one moment where it slipped up - 'I had no way of knowing, but...' Yeah. That doesn't work in a first person book, because if the character has no way of knowing, why is it mentioned? Sorry, pet peeve there.
It was good to see Lily's character further explored. I didn't think it was very nice for Clare and Dante to leave her behind in book one, even if it was understandable as to why they did.
It was also interesting to see more of Rose in this book. I wasn't as grabbed by Ana in this book, I have to say. I had the feeling she really didn't trust Lily and since I liked and empathised with Lily, I found myself getting annoyed on her behalf.
It was also good to see more of Lily's mother and also Clare and Dante's. I think I would have liked to see more of them in the book, though I understood the main focus was more on the children.
I did think this book moved at a very gentle pace, even more so than the first book. I would have liked to see a little bit more action. I am curious to see what will happen in book three, though. There were some conflicts in this book (that helped make the characters more 'real') that I would like to see resolved in the next book.

This book continues the journey of Lily. Her friends, Clare and Dent, are on run after the GRIM, a government organization which make sure of no illegal hoarding of seeds ,and cultivation of crops and plant, raided their houses. Lily started to feel alone and desolate. She loved to learn all about seeds. She wanted to know about her friend so she went to Ana, who is a Seed-Saver, taught her and her's friend about seed and how to grow them. She wanted to learn more about seed so she persuade Ana to teach more about it.
In the midst she found a new friend, Rose, and involved her too in her expedition. As the story progress Lily and Rose came across a new Guy, Arturo, who also know about seeds and how to cultivate them. In the midst of her expedition, lily found some new information about her parents.
Seed Savers: Lily, is a very simple and elegant book for Young Readers. It may create enthusiasm on Young Readers, however, I was not very impressed by the story and writing.

Lily, the second book in the Seed Savers series, is a great follow-up to Treasure! The premise of these books is so scary because it is something that could really happen. Seeds are no longer legal...no gardens, no natural food. Everything that is grown is grown for the big corporations who then turn the real food into "food-like" substances.
In this book, Lily, who was left behind when Clare and Dante escaped to Canada, finds out the truth about her father. She knows she has to find the truth, and she knows she's got to be even more involved in the seed saver movement. The characters in Lily are all well-developed and they plot flows very smoothly. The story will keep you on the edge of your seat!
These books are great for kids who love books about the future and how it could turn out if we aren't careful!

This book is something that I would read in between a series or if you are trying to get over a book hangover. I think this book is meant for a younger reader but it does develop some depth towards the end. This book contains betrayal, love, and secrets. Set in a time were the government controls all food sources, Lily tries to figure out who she can trust and what lies are true. While I did read this book without the first one, I still understood what was going on in the beginning. If you are looking for a quick short read then this would be it.
